If Robert Plant joined Pelican I guess it would sound like this. I can’t bear Led Zeppelin, which I assume means I must hate music. Oh well, I guess I’ll live.
This is serious riff business, slowwwwww riffing with wailing and some sort of organ, Its too pop really though to appeal to people who like bands like Pelican, or Old Man Gloom or something. There’s some attempts here and there to get a bit more weird, the third song Exchange Expression has interesting noise but then Chris Cornell starts up again. There are also attempts to fiddle with electronica here and there too. Personally (and I know with many ‘rock’ fans I would be in a minority here) but it feels like it would be a shit load better without vocals. Sorry matey on vocals!
I don’t know – I can’t criticize it much, its too well played. Basically if you like doomy Rock, but are too scared to buy something weird, and want to keep it like Soundgarden/’the Led’ then you would like it. Me? I’ll throw it in the pile of other things I will never listen to again.
