Tarot Sport (2009)
Ehh I don't know about this. I never took interest in the band for whatever reason, despite all the hype. Maybe I avoided it because of the hype. Maybe I heard some samples and didn't care for what I heard. But an online friend offered to send me their latest, but after telling him I hadn't listened to the band at all he suggested this one. Well here we go: I like a lot of electronic music but there's something about this I don't like. It's very repetitive and often too high-energy in its repetition. It's also a bit droney in parts and I'm not too into that. They have this "rock band" energy that I don't dig in electronic acts, kind of like the little I've heard from Ratatat. They're just a bit grating to me, just trying to make a lot of noise (without being noise). There are interesting bits here, sure it's well done, I just didn't get much enjoyment out of it. I feel like they were just trying to hurt my ears.
