I've heard so much praise about this but I just can't get into it, much like I can't get into the latest The Ocean album. Then again, a lot of people I know didn't like Electro Quarterstaff's Gretzky and I thought it was genius, so go figure... :rolleyes:

these guys are talented musicians and have some cool ideas but their music is lifeless. they go through all the motions of playing DUNDADUNNDUN distorted riffs and screaming and stuff but there's no aggression or energy, so it all feels wasted. they need to learn how to be intense and emotional like Cult of Luna and Neurosis are, or learn how to just fucking rock really hard like Akimbo and Taint, or be like East of the Wall: go all out with the musicianshipy stuff and stop pretending to be pissed off.

Electro Quarterstaff's album has grown on me a lot, at first i was like "ehh... needs a low end" but now i just love how it's so slapdash and janky all the songs are while still kicking ass.
