Thoughts

I was expecting this to be more of a rock/punk album, all guitars and shouting, but actually it was a bit more muso than that. There was a lot of drumming, lots of musical interludes, and a variety of vocals - singing, shouting, talking, all sorts.

It was a good album, not boring but also somehow kind of mellowed into the background, so that I was never really giving it my full attention. And I don’t think it will be particularly memorable either.

Rating: 2 / 5
