They Threw Us in a Trench and Stuck
a Monument On Top
Liars are an anomaly. One part funk, art
troop, one part spastic teenager with a penchant for banging
instruments and throwing tantrums. I'm not gonna lie, this ain't
gonna be everyone's cup of tea. But, please I beg of you, give
them a chance. Play the album a few times and let it grow on
you the way picking a scab feels good after a while. You just
know the lead singer spits when he talks. You know the guitar
player only considers it a good show when he loses a couple
nails and bleeds all over his pants. The band uses everything
in its music assault, including clicks and clacks, electronics,
and maybe even the kitchen sink. It's aggressive and subdued
all at the same time. It's angry, but makes you want to shake
your ass. It has the longest damn title I've ever heard, yet
the music is extremely concise. It's your bratty little brother
after downing six Pixie Stix, yet it's full of smarts. Like
I said, Liars are an anomaly. |
