Barry Black

Somebody let the kids into the toy chest. While in there they stepped on some horns and stuff and clacked some blocks together--and recorded the whole thing. As you can tell I'm not much into instrumental albums, even if they are a product of Eric Bachmann from Archers of Loaf. Granted, this is more interesting than most, but the rambling, oddball circus/jazz feel of the whole thing has more of a movie score quality than anything else--somewhere between Danny Elfman and the outtakes from a Tarantino soundtrack. There are a couple tracks with vocals on them, like the one very Archers-sounding song, "Golden Throat," which is actually pretty decent. The whole thing is just weird enough to be entertaining, but strictly as background music, and not a rousing call to arms.

This much ignorance about literature can only lead to hurt feelings and a whole lot of nonsense.
