lynch.'s first release on a major label.
Repetative, in your face, completely uninspiring. I haven't listened to them since THE AVOIDED SUN in '07 and with this I don't feel like I've missed anything, but yet I still keep my eye on them, patiently waiting, maybe hoping.
Major shifts rarely do -anything- beneficial, musically, for bands. It was foolish of me to get my hopes up. I will say that it was better second and third time 'round, but that isn't the most positive of things to say.

Someone wake me up when they release another ecdysis or liberation chord
I actually loved THE BURIED though, no? lizard, unknown lost a beauty etc.
ReplyDeleteI just feel weird because they're now a 5 member band and Junji has been replaced by meth.'s old bassist. Doesn't feel as lynch.-y maybe? D:
I promised a friend that I would give them another shot and I do intend on tackling THE BURIED, but they just sound really samey to me. I think the biggest problem is Hazuki's voice, and when they so often feel more like Hazuki & Co rather than lynch. ... :/
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely right though, it's weird that they're now a five-piece!
