From what I can fathom, "Lost In Retrospect"is a 'best of' of sorts for Brave. Since this is my first outing into Brave's territory, it's also been a good introduction to the band.
I've been struggling to decide upon which genre or sub-genre Brave fall into. To say that they're a female fronted metal band seems to be a bit vague, and yet I can't think of what else to say. There's rock influences here, pop influences and goth influences - all wrapped up into a neat and tidy package. There are wonderful sing-along moments when necessary, heavy guitar riffs when required, and moments of extreme sensitivity.
"Lost In Retrospect" is a collection of songs rich in textures that will please anyone looking for some female fronted rock/metal.
