First off, never has there been such a mismatch between band name and musical sound. I was expecting metal and the first song was smooth mellow bliss. The tracks featuring Nicolette are also high points. I really loved the first four tracks on this and was thrilled to think I had found a five star album. Sadly the quality didn’t stay as high all the way through. The real turn off was the track Heat Miser. The heavy breathing sound effect on that was viscerally displeasing and I was counting the seconds for my misery to end. The live Light My Fire track was a throwaway aberration from the rest. I’m so sad that the whole did not live up to its early potential.

I got excited when I saw this pop up on my screen! My memory exceeded the reality a bit and it loses a star for lacking energy in parts, but still a fun listen.

I can see this not being everybody’s cup of tea. But as a blues/rock fan, some parts of this album are very enjoyable. Unfortunately a couple of the tracks lost me. But interesting enough for me to be glad to know about this project.

I’m happy to report there was no screaming on this album, but there were plenty of very long psychedelic songs. I think I was much too sober when I listened to it. If the songs were half the length I would probably have liked the album twice as much.

Eh, it’s just not really my jam, but she got me to move around. The vocal gymnastics feel a bit unnecessary at times, but if you want to get your hips moving you could do worse.

These guys have really caught my attention. Interesting lyrics, some straight up pink energy at times but other tune a bit more atmospheric… good stuff!

Sometimes an album comes along that has just the energy you need! It’s a banger start to finish. Perfect score.

The brothers had lovely voices, but damn these were some really turgid boring songs! They were certainly fortunate that disco eventually came along.

File it under “I just can’t stand this s$*t.”
I know a ton if you love it but lord almighty it drags on and on.

I wanted to give it four stars for being innovative, but I just don’t like it enough. I wanted to! I think it’s mostly the vocals that put me off. I don’t expect post-a to have a ton of melody but this was a bit too repetitive both within the songs and throughout the album. That said, their are moments of very nice instrumentation

It didn’t jump out at me and make me want to hear more from his catalogue, but it wasn’t a chore either. Easy listen.
