Minus the Bear's 3rd and latest studio album is just a simple step up from their previous studio album, Menos el Oso. This band never ceases to take the incredible sound they already have and just bump it up to the next level. Post rock/indie-esque guitar-taps and electronic sounds along with sophisticated time signatures defined the band's sound since their debut album, Highly Refined Pirates, and the quality of their sound is consistently being improved. Along with the indie and alternative, yet unique and distinguished sound of Menos el Oso, the band took a slightly more experimental and progressive route and refined their sound along with the help of new keyboardist Alex Rose. Smooth and catchy melodies, electronic breakdowns, math-rock style transitions, proggy interludes and jams: Planet of Ice is a fantastic album for fans of many styles of rock - from indie/experimental to Pink Floyd and Adrian Belew-era King Crimson progressive-rock. A very good listen, and every track is perfect for a just sit-down-and-relax, while on the other hand could be just as tight and energetic. Each and every track on the album is worth a listen.
