Well, after listening to Chutes Too Narrow, I don't really know what I think. A lot of the melodies were nice enough, I expected the production to be more lo-fi but no big deal. The lyrics, I found them to be strange. They used a lot of imagery and weren't very literal, I find it hard to like the music when I don't understand what they're singing about. I find it quite strange how people can like music without understanding it, like a few chavs who listen to Arctic Monkeys. Arctic Monkeys lyrics are taking the piss out of chavs, yet they don't seem to grasp that.. So yeah, I'd like to understand the lyrics before I really made a judgement but it sounded like the potential had some nice melodies on it.
