The Review:

In A World return with a different follow up to their self titled debut. An instrumental soundtrack like album with shorter pieces called 'Lifestyles'. This album showcases what Dirk & Nicole are musically capable of, with a full symphonic cinematic flare that normally is achieved by orchestras.

Lifestyles is divided into six main sections but the ones that I think stand-out and show Dirk & Nicole’s true talent are "Life of An Action Hero" and "The Horror" series. All the rest are good but nothing outstanding as those. One gripe I have is I wished the songs were longer. They make me want more. That could be a good selling point about the music.

If you enjoy bands like Karda Estra, Nox Arcana and Ghosts of Pompeii, you’ll definitely enjoy the music of In A World’s Lifestyles.
