Dave Bayley's voice leads the band through 11 bangers, the instruments orbiting around him as he croons through the bushes, a constant rock of guidance throughout the album. The drum beats are incredibly distinctive (one of the many things lacking from GA's newest effort, How To Be A Human Being), lending a subtly different feel to each track. And that metaphorical monster pounces at the end of nearly every song on Zaba, with each song taking its sweet time in its own way, eventually exploding or at the very least evolving into something even more interesting. The sounds and the textures of the songs feels like nothing else it's like you're wandering through a mysterious jungle on an alien planet while something massive watches you from afar, waiting. And I don't mean unique within the small scope Hip Hop, R&B or Pop, but wholly unique. The sounds and the Zaba is a very unique album.
