He nailed the musical experience, so I'll offer my much more superficial critique:<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed the music, and respected their fusion of sounds, but there was something holding me back from really getting into it. As he expressed, I couldn't tell if it was tongue-and-cheek, (as if liking it would mean my being the brunt of a musical-joke) or if they were serious - and in which case trying way too hard. <BR/><BR/>As I remember watching the pseudo-rock, sleeveless stage personas, I'm left with an inabilty to verbalize...so I'll reiterate my unbelievably shallow (and hopefully not offensive) mid-set comment to Mort: <BR/><BR/>"I kind of want to like it, but I think it's too gay* for me?"<BR/><BR/>*I honestly don't know if I mean that in the happy/jocular or sexual sense of the word...Probably both.EekNastyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537320514197697772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785916982898501063.post-32885718514676502022008-02-29T13:35:00.000-05:002008-02-29T13:35:00.000-05:00I have yet to check these guys out live, but the r...I have yet to check these guys out live, but the record is pretty good. And I hear you with the Darkness (whose first record still totally rocks by the way) but I think maybe it's closer to Electric Six in a way. Lotta Bravado going on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
