This band, along with other's on it's tiny label, has a very unique style
of music, all the music and the lyrics are written live. The concept is
great, all the artists have complete control of their work, from start to
finish. All the music is impromptu, and in theory, devoid from outside
influence. However, after a quick listen through this tape, even with all
the merits behind the construction of the music do not make up for the
gaping fallacies in the end result of music written this way. By creating
an impromptu mood, artists tend to create the same music over, and over,
and with conventional instrumentation (acoustic guitars, live drums), this
tends to create a commonality of percussion throughout every song on the
album, they all run together. Also, with the vocals, try as they might
to become creative, I can't help but feel they are falling back on
old hack lyrics from the past. It could be the lack of depth of the work,
or ignorance on my part, but what conceptually sounds like a great musical
idea, falls flat on it's face in reality.
