Everytime I put my hands in a album of post-rock I have a feeling that it's going to be great. They just have this glowing aura. I don't know if it is the cover or the bands name, but everything transpires awesomeness and this one is no exception.

All tracks start in a relatively calm way, never revealing specifically what will happen next, as if they were stories. The development emerges always in the middle, always strong and energetic, using the sheer force of raw rock.

The first track "Meridian" presents us with a set of drums and a frenetic vibrating guitar. From here the album takes its course, leaving us adrift in a sea of ​​pure rock. The guitar comes in delicate ways, breaking sometimes its delicacy and crying heavily. "Lowercase west" is one example of that, a very smooth beginning, going side-by-side with a rhythm of drums and a bass that reminds us of a ballad, but as usual in "Leaves/Scares", the dramatic atmosphere always comes in the middle of the track, changing the landscape appearance.

The beauty of post-rock is that it can excel without a voice, using a universal language of instrumental rock. "Beware of Safety" is a band to discover and to take everywhere, whenever you need to go further and get away from everyday.

Overall rating: 7.9
Pros: Once you've mastered this album, you will understand it deeply, and care for it.
Cons: The last tracks don't have the punch like the beginning of the album, but they close the album in a smooth way.
