Trollheart · 01-31-2018, 09:32 AM

Album title: Gargoyle
Artist: Mark Lanegan Band
Genre: Indie Rock/Alt-Rock/Blues Rock
Nationality: American
Release date: April 28
Position in Discography: Third (but there seem to be a lot of live albums in between)
Estimated Rating:

Familiar with this artist? No but I have heard of him
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No
Average RYM Score: 3.29
Now where have I heard of this guy before? Oh yeah: he was a member of Queens of the Stone Age. Okay, well the first song that makes me take notice here is the third track: “Blue Blue Sea” has a nice eighties synthpop/new-wave sound with warbling keyboards and screaming synthesisers, kind of sounds like something Tubeway Army might put out. “Sister” is another good one; dolorous, dark, melancholy and slow with a hint of Cave in it somewhere, and a lot of Iggy in “Emperor”, a more upbeat number. Some of it is very good, some of it doesn't speak to me as much as perhaps it should, but overall a pretty decent album certainly.

Check out more from this artist? Probably not
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yes
