When No Machine released their debut album ‘A
Terrible Thing’ back in late 2007 I was instantly
hooked on their sound, a sound which saw progressive
rock turned into easy listening with so many catchy
moments on offer throughout the 11 well written
songs, soon after the album was released I went
and watched them live in Oxford and at that show
they played a number of song’s that weren’t
including on their debut album and one of these
songs was ‘Toast The Toaster’ and it
happened to be the song that went down the best
at the show and now it is finally ready to be released
as a single.
‘Toast The Toaster’ is a song about
losing yourself for a bit and everything about
the song has that perfect sound and feel from
the opening instrumental piece that could easily
sound like the start of a brand new game show
on TV right down to the fast flowing vocals from
AL Rivers which flow well before, during and after
the melodic chorus, the keyboard work is also
fantastic sounding and everything goes that little
bit more upbeat and epic for the closing moments
of the song.
The b-side to ‘Toast The Toaster’
is actually an instrumental version of the song
and it is actually quite nice to listen to and
makes me thing more that No Machine create happy
music which is best suited to TV.
Let’s hope that ‘Toast The Toaster’
starts to give No Machine the recognition that
they deserve and let’s also hope they don’t
disappear off the face of the earth after they
release their second album as sadly that is pretty
much what happened after the release of their
debut.
4/5
