The first thing I noticed on this album is
the somewhat muddled production. The levels are all out of whack,
unless that's intentional, in which case I just don't know what
the heck is going on. I mean, why scream if it's going to be
buried in overblown wall of sound density? Maybe it's just not
my thing. The music itself reminds me of The Cramps a little
bit and somehow The Velvet Underground (so typical, I know).
There's just a lot going on here, and none of it is that compelling.
I think it'll take multiple listens to really get it (or start
to tire of it). The boy/girl vocal thing is okay, but sometimes
it's difficult to tell who's the boy and who's the girl. I just
don't like it when I can't hear vocals, or it sounds like the
singer has to shout to be heard above his own instruments. I'm
getting old, I guess--wacky kids. |
