300 albums to go! This was a strange entry and really like nothing I had ever heard before.
I wasn't familiar with the genre math rock, but I will definitely need to explore it more after listening to this. I particularly enjoyed the song "Don Aman" which some have interpreted as a track about an autistic person. I think it perfectly captures the feeling of isolation mental illness can cause. This would still be a relevant track even if we weren't in the scary times.
It was also a surprisingly short album, which I think worked in its favor. Always leave them wanting more. Other entries on this List should take notes.
RATING: 3/5
Speaking of scary times...Rapist In Chief? Really, Americans?
ReplyDeleteAs for Spiderland, it's unique and compelling and makes me want to hear it again. The music is very well played and it's dramatic in a way that matches that of the lyrics/stories.
