Shit. I don't think I can do this band justice in a review. But I'll try.

decent review, great album. To the idiot a couple posts down. This IS music, it is purely haunting, and, after a few listens from beginning to end, it DOES have a cohesive almost "melodic" structure to it's mayhem. One of the best bands around today....and their live show kills. Think Black Flag meets Throbbing Gristle and you'll get an idea. Maniacal. think throbbing gristle, think early cabaret voltaire, think SPK, got the picture? ok. anyone who says they like this shit is either stupid or a liar or both. it's not music. it's ridiculous feedback, noise, and farting computers. the only thing "scary" about this "band" is that they managed to get a contract to put this crap on cd. what was sub pop thinking? the comets on fire album is great... but this is nowhere the same level. there a some interesting moments on this disk, but most of it is incredibly boring. the only reason i would kill myself is to be saved from the boredom i experience It's Sub Pop man. That's a huge label. Wow, Comets on Fire and Wolf Eyes. Two good records from Subpop in one year. That Subpop would actually release this shows there must be someone new working there in A&R. An obvious comparison is Throbbing Gristle and/or Whitehouse but not as good as either of those. It is annoying to see this record get reviewed everywhere while the rest of the noise scene goes completely unnoticed. Hopefully Wolf Eyes will help push the unknowns... "Is that Good for Cows CD suppose to awe you upon first listen? I'm not feeling it so far." Is that Good for Cows CD suppose to awe you upon first listen? I'm not feeling it so far. one more instance of the detroit scene ruling. they opened for the locust in the shelter (yes sort of the same one that is in 8 mile) and they weren't really my bag but the way everyone ran out of the room into the hallway was really funny to me Good record. Also it should be noted that Andrew WK was in this band for alittle bit. You gotta be kidding me.... that song on subpop sucks. I enjoy lots of this kind of music... but that song was pure shit. Good review, awesome album. Kudos to you for mentioning the Pitchfork review which was indeed a little better. honestly, you want a review of this record? i make my computer be my alarm clock, and one of the songs from this record woke me up one morning and i wanted to kill myself. the sound coming from the speakers was the most horrid painful thing i have ever heard. i know this is exactly how music has been denigrated in the past, but music in the past tended to consist of more than reverb and screeching. for the occasional note, listen to every other band ever. scarys a good way to describe it. It's not as scary as this! |
