Title: what am i missing?
Review: I purchased this, listened, listened, and listened some more and I just can't figure out why people like this album at all. It doesn't help that the band is outrageously ripping off Slint. The album also sounds very schizophrenic, every song sounds different, but NOT in a good way... sounds like a band that is just starting out, trying to cover a lot of sonic ground, but not doing a good job of it. The one exception I don't mind is 'Tracy', although the track is 7+ minutes and only 3 minutes of it is actual music, those 3 minutes are pleasing to the ears. Sorry but adding ironic phone conversations and having tracks of just noise does not help, Godspeed can get away with that, because they know how to use it in their songs in an effective way. The stuff done on this album has been done before and better by others, just go listen to some slint, godspeed or my bloody valentine instead.
Is the review positive or negative?
