That's an excellent version. Houser unfortunately left WP in 2002 but John Bell's still the frontman as far as I know. Panic are one of the better country-oriented jam bands still running in the circuit today, and Space Wrangler (their debut) I still believe to be pretty underrated. |

I didn't listen to the whole thing, but just the first few tracks. Track number two was legit good, but my general impression was of something very polished and nice but not terribly engaging. I didn't think his rapping was all that expressive. Would have liked some more nuances or some more explosive production. Overall impression was of something very tasteful and pretty and moody, but in a way that came off too clean and measured.
But I don't know anything about hip hop anyway. Might be Frown and you other rap heads' album of the year for all I know. I wanna stress the fact that I thought track number two was pretty good though. That one, I could listen to again. Pretty ok at first. The guitar grooves remind me of PJ Harvey. I guess I didn't really feel like there was something here to make me come back to it, but it sounded good enough as such. The last few minutes were really annoying though. |

Will confirm that Atmosphere is lackluster on most fronts.

Now you're just asking me to be someone that I'm not. I gave it an honest try (nearly 10 minutes), but then I had to kill it. No repetition of anything means there's basically zero musical themes here. Nothing wrong with that, but you know me. I like my recognizable musical themes and their development. This is more a game of getting into the sheer vibe of it or waiting for all those little moments where something that sounds like an idea happens for a second.
I think Frown and OH post a lot in a thread with this sort of thing somewhere, and I never visit it. I'm just no fun like that. For as different as the band looks, I thought the music was pretty cookie cutter. Reminded me a lot of Grip Inc., only not as good. Nothing wrong with those guitar grooves though. Fairly headbanging worthy, but the singer got on my nerves. Is it just me or was he mixed way too LOUD? |
