Labels: Holy Roar
Review by: Danny Parsons
This is better than something else I heard by them. Don’t get me wrong though, this isn’t what I would call “good’. Yes, they’re probably one of the few bands to feature in NME that have heard of latter-day Funeral Diner or Orchid, but that doesn’t count for shit when you’ve constructed twelve songs that sound exactly the same. I can’t even be bothered to go into that much detail as to why it isn’t good as it’s so damn boring. Instead, I’ve come up with a formula for a Maths song.
Chaotic bit, melodic bit, build-up, chaotic bit
Feel free to interchange the last two bits, maybe just go balls-out chaotic for a whole song (better make it short though)! OR add a token instrumental song in that gains spoken words near the dénouement.
It’s just stupidly monotonous. I swear they must use exactly the same chords in every song. I despair. I can write no more.
