First impressions are good but not overwhelmingly so. Trademark boozy, bluesy, stoner metal. I will definitely be listening again.
Bought:
AMPLIFIER - OCTOPUS (2011)
Bought at the gig last night. I bought this version which is 2xCD, 1XCD of the 'Fractal' LP and a huge booket. It is hardback cased. Beautifully packaged album.
AMPLIFIER - ECHO STREET (2013)
I bought this at the gig too. Another very well presented album that also includes the 'Sunriders' EP and a 60 page book. It seems a little more ambient and laid back than older material but on first listen I enjoyed it. The gig was good too, the new stuff was mixed with the old well and it was good, loud, trippy and a little shoegazey. I just hope it isnt really their last UK tour. |
You saw Amplifier? you bar steward! Such an underated band.
The new Voivod. Wow! Still an absolutely stunning band after all these years. Anyone who says that Metal is a cliched unoriginal genre should listen to this. A fantastic return to form.
Best cover art I have seen for a long while. He has said that a lot of modern music is so faceless these days and what better way to portray that than have your own image blanked out meaning that you just have to judge the music within on it's own merits and it is a damn good album reuniting him with producer Tony Visconti.
