Negative Positive
Title: Sparse, but effective.
Review: Not as lush, or as many lyrics to be found here as in other Calla releases. Wasn't entirely certain what this would sound like, and was a little surprised by it. More elctronic drums and noises; very very sparse arrangments of guitars/bass; and the drums barely keep a rhythm. Maybe after a bottle of cough syrup night time formula and a nice cosy hot bath, this might just hit the spot but as a casual listen it almost becomes musical wall paper, and certainly isn't recommended as driving music (where as Scavengers and moreso Televised are).Hmm, sounds a tad negative, well not really it's a good record and stands up well in amongst my other Calla records, you can tell it was a band with plenty of good ideas, and a real sense of space, so I fully recommend it especially at a reduced price and with the addition of bonus live material.
Is the review positive or negative?
