Ki's Journal for Terrible Albums

This Town Needs Guns - 13.0.0.0.0

The vocalist really doesn't do it for me, I wish they didn't replace Stuart Smith. A lot of the quality throughout the album Animals really did come from the vocals.
Nothing particularly mind-blowing with the tracks, basically feels like a dumbed down version of Animals. I know I reference that album a bit, but it was their debut, and this is only the 2nd album of theirs.
Maybe this a step in the right direction for what they want to create with their music, but I don't really see much success after this album, unless they go back to their roots.
Not entirely sure why they chose the Maya Calendar as a theme for the album, as it really doesn't seem like you can take much from that and turn it into a music album, though I suppose someone had to do it.
