OMfuckingG.
It's going to take a little while to process this album, due to the usual overdose of ideas. They make most other bands look impotent.
First thoughts are that it's a progression from Teeny Shiny, still fairly rabid, but much more pop oriented. Every band member is phenomenal, some of the riffs, rhythms and arrangements are both brilliantly conceived and ferociously executed. They're one of the few bands that can marry ideas, technique and energy.
Just listening to the outro now, and it's beautiful, just ambient tinkling.
It arrived in the post along with Permission to Land by the Darkness. My neighbours are gonna *love* me. |
