Title: Fire The Drummer(and the mixer)
Review: I bought this on a punt, it was in the supposedly personalized Amazon recommends for you section. If memory serves me the review said it was moody and atmospheric and it's true I'm a moody, melancholic girl when it comes to music but if this is moody and atmospheric then who can tell because it's almost impossible to hear anything other than the relentless, irritating ratter-tat-tat of the generic sounding, very uninspiring drums which are on almost every track. I do suspect there is a fairly beautiful album under them somewhere and I do mean under because for some unfathomable reason the drums are at the front of the mix. On the few tracks where this is not the case the relief is palpable, the music good. I suspect that if someone could strip the drums off this album entirely there would be a gorgeous, sparse yet rich album, did they just get scared by their potential for beauty?
Is the review positive or negative?
