that first album was so fucking dark and cool and weird and as i think ive mentioned before Dr. Know from Bad Brains does the solo on Time Consumer (fucking dope)
second album was also good, love seeing a band progress in a way that makes sense and stays true to themselves; third album was basically their breakout success (thanks guitar hero), and then every album got fucking weird and overproduced and just generally sucked. like i can kinda get into a couple one-off tracks from later albums, but man, its all pretty meh. does anyone like their newer shit?
not tryna hate, i just hadent listened to this band in like half a decade, came back to their debut and was just like “wow second stage turnbine blade is really, really good. what happened?”
I was a big fan of the first 4 albums or so but by the 4th they started the change over to extremely produced but also not very interesting (to me) albums. I actually went to see them last year and they were great and the new stuff was great live, but sadly they do not play much of their early stuff, just a few of the big hits or absolute concert mainstays get played from those albums. Which is totally their right but yea, big changes over the years. I’ve given the newer stuff a chance a few times but it just doesn’t click with me like the first albums.
