Navigator-An Idea of Home
by Tim Wenger
Navigator takes melodic hardcore to a higher level with their new album An Idea of Home. There is something to be said for a screamer with enough talent that his words are still understandable to the naked ear, and while many bands fail in that category, these guys pull it off quite well.
The two guitar parts flow perfectly with each other throughout the record, and the entire album is mixed very well. What stood out the most to me about the album is the way they come into so many of the songs with quick, melodic guitar parts and then follow up with more of the same during the bridges. While they may not be pushing the envelope on pushing the genre past what it knows, they play their music so well that it is really easy to throw the disc on repeat and get into it.
They even slow it down on the album’s final track, bringing in some awe-inspiring gang vocals over the lead guitar. If Navigator can be as tight on stage as they sound on this album, you can bet that they will be a force here in the hardcore scene for a long time.
