Has anyone heard this new full length release from Load Records? It is fucking brilliant. Finally, a record from this band that lives up to their live sound. It is even better than ‘Lead Into Gold’, which was a masterpiece albeit more experimental in a sense.
Now this is some shit worth talking about. They opened up for Skinny Puppy on their last tour on some dates and generated quite a response from shithead goths who aren’t used to having to think when they listen to music anymore.
I listened to the first Myspace song, pretty good Bardo Pond-ish stuff. My question is however why would you istening to this music make you think? And for that matter what gives you the impression that goths don’t like to think while they listen to music? I’ve always assumed they like to think too much which explains the very overly ornate approach towards lyrics whereas noise rock and psych approaches things from a more viceral angle. Prog of course is a different kettle of fish, I feel a lot of prog is like audio suduko puzzles for music nerds.
Shit begets shit.
in all fairness one should at least acknowledge the facts that this WK character is involved in all sorts of activities, some of them being highly avantgarde and not pathetic at all…
Wow I really thought this would get a more positive response… I think this is a great band.
What I meant by the “goth” comment is that they have become used to this 4/4 techno stomp and can’t get beyond it.
Sightings fucking rock live. Fuck the haters. What does WK have to do with anything? So the producer makes something bad now? His breakthrough hits were shit but he has some good underground cred, including membership in Wolf Eyes.
jizzwad, go masterbate to Jesu’s ‘Conqueror’ and listen to Broadrick attempt to sing. What a piece of shit album…
Whatever. Andrew WK is awesome, really nice guy and he puts on a killer show. His latest is a little Thirlwell-ish, actually, in places, nothing wrong with that!
