Labels: Point The Blame – Tyle Vora
Review by: Andy Malcolm
I just put this record on again because my next door neighbour is listening to something so bad that unless I make a bit of noise in my own room, I will go insane and perhaps go so far as to firebomb his house. So here’s a review.
Can’t get enough of that wonderful Duff, err, stuff. Hell yeah, more super-duper screamo emo hardcore with hard to understand vocals, pleasant parts like the Van Pelt (1st album rather than 2nd) and full on drivin’ grooves to shake it all about to. Think Car vs Driver, think Four Hundred Years, think Sleepytime Trio. Think another record you ought to have in your collection.
I swear my neighbour is turning the volume up. Bastard.
Sometimes here Griver are doing funny things like stopping in the middle of a song for a moment then changing their pace entirely. This at times can fool you into thinking there are more than 8 songs on the slab. Especially when it can be a task more complicated than even long division to follow the lyrics on the lyric sheet. “Nya ah mggg nnnn bebbb bahhh” hollers Laney, supposedly in English. Sheesh. Most of the time they are alternating between the moody slower bits, and the full on rock outs that they are perpetually building up to. Oh and The Lapse have a very similar guitar sound to that evidenced on songs such “Graduate”.
Morris: To sum up, in a word? touseled. a sound? gaaaaaa. Another keeper for fans of the not so chaotic and mind melting screamin’ emo, yes that’s you pal.
