    'Collisions' is the perfect follow-up to 'Televise'. Continuing in the dark, epic vein, the album is in equal parts consuming and uplifting, with the anthemic characteristics and experimental yet catchy style of ' the bends' and 'ok computer' radiohead, and some songs songs are reminiscent of a low-tempo Cave In. Although they remain a band in control of their own style and direction, they are very fluid which allows them to be accessible, with Aurelio Valle's voice a unique and refreshing feature. Calla are so much more than the sum of their influences. Surely material like this will ensure their fanbase grows and they will gain the popularity they deserve.… Expand

    On Collisions, the band wipes the sleep out of its eyes and produces a set of songs that is more inspired and vital, even if it's equally embittered and dejected.

    Dramatic and dark.

    With Calla's song structures and melodies more concrete, though, Valle's desolate imagery has begun to lose a bit of its mystery, and consequently, some of its appeal.
