Last Prayer has an insistent beat to it, linking together new wave with confident singer-songwriter fare (e.g. Richard Marx, Phil Collins). The depth that UniversalDice achieves here ensures that listeners will continue to find new twists and turns with subsequent plays. The song has enough of a nod of radio rock genres to play well there, but the dynamics established with the instrumental arrangements will titillagte serious music aficionados. Of particular note during Last Prayer has to be the intensity that the vocals achieve. They act in bold opposition to the more measured guitar, bass, and drums encountered on the track.
We’ve previously covered UniversalDice’s Out of Many, One and birth, love, hate, death.
