Title: manic insanity at it's best
Review: Frog Eyes is pure insanity. Nothing I know of modern day sounds anything like these guys. The lead singer, I think his name is Carey Mercer, has a vocal range that has to be heard as he goes all over the place throughout most of the songs. You would think such vocal masturbation would detract from the music, but it only helps the manic energy of the record. Not all of the songs have bounce-off-the-walls intensity though, as some songs are rather slow and oddly pretty. Not a "classic" record by any means, but a very good one all the same. There are no real obvious standouts, maybe with the exception of "The Oscillator's Hum", but this is a record worth listening to, if only to make you wonder what direction music will go in next. For fans of Johnny Society and bands pushing the limits of pop music. Also worth checking out if you want to stay current with the great bands coming out of Canada.
