Review by: Andy Malcolm
Its produced by J. Robbins.
That might be enough for get some people to go out and buy it already, so they’ll have no need to read what’ll be a pretty a negative review.
I can’t get my head round this sort of thing at all. Eight tracks, averaging over six minutes. It does both the rock thing, and the emo thing, but in a very messy, arty, all over the shop fashion. One minute they’re indulging in a scratchy guitarfest, and then all of a sudden it slows down for a nice break. I quite like these bits, but the absence of vocals for long periods of time renders the songs as near instrumentals, which gets to be a bit of a drag over a whole album. There are not enough bits to lighten the mood, and if you’re not careful, you’ll just end up with a headache from trying too hard.
At times I hear a bit of Kerosene 454, but I haven’t listened to that album for a month or so, so I could be wrong, but whatever, this is nowhere near as good. It’s all a bit testing for the likes of me, someone with not enough patience to get involved in the intricate complexities of the noise they are making. Guess I’m just a pop fool. So shoot me.
