Review title: An uninspired effort.
Product review: Well, I have to say this album did not live up to the hype for me. After reading many rave reviews I purchased Drums Not Dead, admittedly on the basis of many of the comparison being made to Faust, Animal Collective and other Kraut-rock bands. I applaud the Liars efforts, as on paper this would seem to be an album I would love but unfortunately, compared to the afore mentioned bands, they come across as amateurish. A 9/10 rating from Pitchfork is laughable. In other reviews that I read much was made of the drumming on this album. I'm not sure why, it's fairly boring and repetitive. The singer sounds like he'd rather be sleeping. The guitar does nothing to warrant attention. Watching the DVD version of the album and seeing one of the band members washing out a bong I was struck by the thought, that if they had spent less time getting high they might have put out an CD that had a few inspired moments.
