this album is a fire explosion bursting. I think it's great. Not for all occasions and all times but some days i need an album like this.
This one is new to me. Never heard of them or this album, so I didn't know what really to expect. Boy, this is unique for sure. It's a form of aural assault from the get-go. The best description I can give that at least made sense to me is that it is like a hard/Indie rock version of some of the freakout moments from the Grateful Dead's live Dark Stars or Playing In The Bands just without the eventual payoff of a killer melody or mind-blowing improv. One song of this sounds kind of cool, an entire album is tedious. I get why it was picked, but it didn't do a whole lot for me. It's not a 1 as I did find redemptive qualities in a lot of it. But it's a solid 2 for me.
This was another one I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about and ended up liking it a lot! 4/5.
I like that the vocals are buried a bit in the mix, they become an instrument in themselves, too far forward, and you start to listen to them and I don't think that is what is intended, they are not words, they are noises. There really are some beautiful melodies here, buried beneath the fuzz! Wonderful Rainbow is such a beautifully well-timed respite from all the chaos that came before it, and now we're off again, fully rested. Well, that was lovely. It did get a little samey towards the end and my ears were glad when it ended, but I liked that a lot. 3 / 5 stars.
Controlled chaos. Really dig this.
