I think it comes down to chops, quite frankly.
The first 45 seconds of "Ny Batteri" are interesting--all the weird horn sounds--and I'm thinking "That's all right, that, let's build on that..." but at the end of the day it's Yet Another I-VI Two-Chord Drone With Bass Figure High Up The Neck of the type that U2 used to knock out by the shedload. The atmospherics are threadbare: I thinkwe all know what guitar feedback sounds like by now, thank you, very nice, NEXT! And if Jimmy Page got royalties every time some poseur assaulted a guitar with a violin bow, he'd wouldn't have to tour with te Black Crowes for rent money. And then when the drums come in, a moment that's clearly meant to be climactic, the effect is unfortunately laughable because the sound is so cruddy and the programming is so crude.
If you feel I've judged the band harshly in a critique of just one song, thgat's because they've only got one song: that's their fault, not mine.
And Rothkoid? I'll give you medieval--say hello to Hildegard of Bingen and Guillaume de Mechaut, suckah! |
