Title: a damp squib
Review: As a fan of some 6 years I was virtually in cardiac arrest when I saw the new album in my local cd store. I purchased it, roared home, put it on and lay down to be blown into oblivion....................only to sit up after about 20 minutes, wondering when the feeling would begin.What an overblown, lacklustre, limp-wristed damp squib of an album. The boys have LOST IT!! The lyrics are becoming such a HO-HUM affair - so predictable and so boringly repetetive. Had they been snarled(ala Deftones)or even shrieked incoherently, maybe then I could have paid a little more attention to the mediocre music.I find more evil in the music of Recoil than in this pathetic effort. Oh!Well! I'll just take out my copy of AntiC. Superstar and dream of what might have been. This new cd goes right back to the store for a refund. What a HUGE disappointment. The one star, incidentally, is for the cover art, which is, as usual, top notch.
Is the review positive or negative?
