Secret Machines New Album
 

Anyone else loving Secret Machines new album? I think it is a pretty worthy effort and have been listening to it all day in preparation for their concert tomorrow.

how does it compare to their first?

better than the first but about the same as the second

SO I saw them in concert at the 930 club and they were pretty solid. You can definitely hear the Tripping Daisy influence in the music. The guitarists hand started bleeding at one point and damn are they loud. Atomic Heels is a great opening song and sounded wonderful in concert. I don't think they are going to gain any new fans with this album. I seriously think it is just too smart for some people, especially given that what the past has taught me about how dumb people are. But the true fans will like the shift and how much it sticks to them being probably one of the loudest sounding bands in the world right now. I actually had to go to the doctor the next day to see if my ear drums were damaged. I have never had that happen at any concert.
