Truckfighters - Universe A couple of good songs, but a little disappointing. 6/10
King Buzzo - This Machine Kills Artists EP Not the full album. Sounds good but probably not something I'd listen to all that often. 7/10
Tomahawk - M.E.A.T Bring back Faith No More. 3/10
Fucked Up - Glass Boys Really don't get the appeal of this band. 4/10
Misery Index - The Killing Gods Grindy metal drum fest. 8/10
Swans: Stoked at first listen especially the immediate tone of the opening track, but agreed, my interest has waned and a month or so later, I'm bored
Truckfighters: agree with your assessment ... not nearly as good as previous releases, but alright, I suppose
King Buzzo: interesting take and likely a great source of output for him, but unlikely to listen to in place of 'electric' Melvins ... still going to see him, cause why the fuck not.
Fucked Up: yes, why does anybody listen to this band ... utter fucking garbage, all of it.
Tomahawk: that or just about any other Patton project (including soundtracks and scores) if this is the output
Misery Index: yet to listen, but sincerely want to check it out ... all reports are positive from those I trust
NEW Reviews not listed:
Agollach - The Serpent and the Sphere
don't think I've listened to any of their releases in a while, andd only got to this once on the NPR stream, but I liked most of it from memory (7/10)
Barrows - Red Giant
actually think this is one Mog posted ... I loved it enough to spend 6 bucks ... solid throughout and I was left wanting 'just one more' track when it was over (8/10)
