Some of the longer psychedelic tracks did seem to go on longer than they should, but that's just something psychedelic rock and I don't see eye to eye on. While I don't think this album has made me a fan of the band, I will definitely keep it so I can use a track or two on a playist. |
Odd. I personally always class Death In Vegas as an Electronic band that dips into darker genres a la Massive Attack and as such enjoy it a lot more. Aisha is such an uncomplicated piece of work that it is impossible to dislike. A dated album in some respects but I still give it a blast once in a while.

Lou Reed and Metallica Project 'Lulu'. Well somebody has to listen to it (not heard it yet though) and I like to think that there is much more out there to listen to than bland bands bringing out new albums with stupid titles. I prefer maligned to fawning anyhow.
