Sylvan
\nHome
\n<\/i>(Gentle Art of Music\/E1)
\n3\/5<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be honest: I found Home<\/i>, the 11th release by German band Sylvan, difficult to get through.<\/p>\n

It was promising enough, with intricate instrumentals that were somewhere between classical music and Euro-rock, but the lyrics filled with teenage angst were depressing.<\/p>\n

Sylvan has created a detailed storyline of a girl unable to find her true home in a hostile world of instability, battling with herself over what decisions to make once her truth is found. Although the premise sounds intriguing, the execution results in a confusing medley of different genres crammed together, and unfortunately the original message is lost.<\/p>\n
