Where "In Lake ''Ch" would often bring about moments of dredg-like euphoria and Tool-reminiscent complexity, "44" instead retains a far more earthy feel. Very organic and distinctly rock and jam oriented

Details:
The Mayan Factor functions as a solid cohesive unit throughout the entirety of the album, creating an immense sound that is both forceful and calming. The direct result of this dynamic in the band is that "44" is truly a journey album. Backed by expansive tribal leanings with flairs of progressive earth rock, the album slowly yet surely transverses from track to track along a smooth continuous path, never allowing the listener a chance to get lost in disjointed songs or compositions. No track stands out among the rest; they all contribute to the overall sound and concept of the album instead of diverting attention away from it by relying on one or two songs to carry it. Each song is a treat all in itself, interacting not only with the listener, but with the other songs as well.

What makes The Mayan Factor so unique in the modern rock world is their ear for completeness. Whereas other bands attempt to pursue several different ideas within the same album and inevitably end stifled by their own creative force and left with a premature work of art, The Mayan Factor have perfect timing and are able to set their listener on a sonic journey through a multitude of landscapes and return full circle with a satisfying conclusion. "44 leaves no ends untied and never has an unfulfilling moment, as every aspect of the album is fully fleshed out and appropriately closed. As the final moments of ''Self-Storage'' wind down, one can only applaud the craftsmanship that The Mayan Factor employ over the hour long adventure.
