"Doomsday" opens the album with a quirky catchy riff, which
continues at a slower pace through the verse, as vocals with Wolfmother-esque
distortion slide over the top. When the guitars aren't angrily shouting
away smothered in distortion, there's something slightly Beatles about
Pet Genius, with the vocals just gently complimenting the music perfectly.
An indie/alternative blend, with contrasting blocks of wispy progressive
licks, and heavy disjointed riffs.
In fact, it's suddenly hit me like a breeze-block in the kidneys. It's
Cave In that these guys remind me of, in a strange way. The heavier riffs
are the real highlights of the album, and it's a shame there aren't more
of them really. Given that the album opens with one, it'sa little misleading
to stuff the rest of the album with strange noises, experimental jams,
and quieter stuff. But it's all good,really.
Besides the opening track, stand out tracks for me are "Man of the
Mountain," because of it's expert composition, (but that's the one
that draws the Beatles sound, so that explains that one,) and "Cosmic
Erosion," (but that draws from Cave In.) I really don't know what
to say, this album is such a mix of styles, and if a few songs aren'tseparated
by an experimental instrumental, then a song will break itself down into
a series of noises, as if it's trying to communicate with another world.
This album has potential, but if you want to listen to music then you
might be frustrated with their beating about the bush.
3/5
