The Ties That Blind is the second studio album by the Atmospheric sludge metal band Mouth of the Architect. Recorded at Red Room Recordings in Seattle, WA, it was released on Translation Loss Records on 22 August 2006. Prior to recording, Alex Vernon left the group, leaving Gregory Lahm to record all guitar parts. Without a bassist since the departure of Derik Sommer, Brian Cook of These Arms Are Snakes filled in to write and record all bass parts.
While Mouth of the Architect still use that overused formula, they have a particular tinge that slightly diverges them apart from the other bands, but in a much better direction. They have a much more melodic focus than any of those other bands and uses both their softer side and their sludgy side to the best of their ability throughout each song on this album very well and transitions between them very fluently and at a much better pace than other bands within this vein of music. The Ties that Blind" is a great work of art that should be cherished by most who listen to it because I have never seen anyone perform an album like this that is so well rounded out and easy to listen to for a post metal album. if you are familiar with the album "Quietly", and expecting this to sound similar, turn the. other way because this album has that "Seed of Hope" that "Quietly" very clearly does not.
