I also thought that in trying so hard to be original and shifting continuously between different styles, they were missing the opportunity to develop some perfectly decent ideas. The Mars Volta do this as well, and I dislike them for the same reason. This is much more a problem with the way I relate to this kind of music.



I'd like to think this, especially with some of the lyrics to "I Don't Wanna Die", mainly because I couldn't work out what on earth he was singing about, but after finding the entire album completely opaque, I began to think that it just wasn't making sense. I try and look for meaning in songs like this, but it seemed that if they were so keen on making what they wanted to say important and relevant, they'd have made it a bit clearer, and perhaps used better diction on the vocals. I appreciate that the crescendo at the end of "I Don't Wanna Die" is for the emotional effect, but I couldn't divine a thing from that din.

That's a brief way of me saying that I didn't find it amusing in any way.

The mini-review was way to short to make a proper judgement on the album, so don't take it seriously, it merely suffices to say that I do not dig this album!
