no. not much really. I don't think so, anyway, I'm wondering how you think that? I mean Slint influenced these guys I guess, pretty indirectly, but still?

Just read this review now and it's very well-written and effective.

it asks too much from the listeners without giving them anything in return

I'd change it to "little in return" but this basically summarizes the problem I have with the album. It manages to be both more demanding and less satisfying than Slow Riot and Lift Your Skinny Fists.

"The long instrumentals, if at times suggesting, are excruciating as they are devoid of sense, deriving in music that is desolate like the atmosphere it aims to evoke. Vocals samples, subtle guitars, horns, cellos, violins, percussion, keyboards, all of this huge arsenal is merely used to color the diffused and amorphous picture that F#A#oo turns out. All is overdramatic; the weirdness is used for theatrical effects, impact is favored over substance; it asks too much from the listeners without giving them anything in return."



"Complexity here substitutes content, long passages simulate profoundness and originality tries to equal craftsmanship. Clever and unique on the surface, underneath its grave appearance it is all vain and empty. And perhaps this is the secret of its critical success."



yes this is a GREAT review. i completely and wholeheartedly agree with what this review is saying. thank god i'm not alone on not liking this album.

Read the review again. That's exactly what I feel about this album. It's one giant journey with no final destination... no climax.



Boooring.
