Uh oh- I’m here to spoil the party.
Afraid I just couldn’t get onboard this one as much as I tried.
Just felt I was listening to some Tarantino style movie soundtrack, would fit perfectly for Kill Bill where Uma Thurman goes on a mad killing spree or a classic Eastwood Western movie before the guns are drawn.
So from that side of it I could respect.
But as an album as a whole I just miss the Pop/Rock formula i’m accustomed to.
Opener ‘Old Engine Oil’ was the closest to that , really cool song - did also like ‘Arcane Rambler’.
‘Valley Of The Damned’ had a great outro.
Unfortunately the rest seemed to blend into each other and I found the Sax and Trumpets rather tedious after a while.
Glad it’s been well perceived from others as this is certainly a different pick from the conventional and clearly a talented band to create all this sound.
5/10
