Jim knows the map of tassie very well.

Hook turns are actually bloody useful if you know what you're doing. They stop the trams from fucking up the congestion even further. Not good for rookie out-of-town types though.

British India are not so useful.

"Not good for rookie out-of-town types though."



That's an understatement. From the accidents I've seen, trams have absolutely no give.

Yeah, I've had many a mates car written off by trams. Usually not even a ding on the tram. I guess that's what happens when tram drivers decide to run a red light with a 27 tonne lump of steel connected to the road.

I never would have thought anyone on Sputnik would have had Charles Bronson on their avatar. Kudos Sauce.

I just listened to this, its not too bad. My main issue is the vocals, he is quite possibly the blandest singer I have ever heard.

the drummer is a bit repetitive as well, particularly towards the end of the album he seems to have an obsession with rapid snare hits.

Album Rating: 3.5

I think most people think the vocals are the main issue with British India. I wouldn't say "bland" is the correct description though. They can verge on annoying, which can be quite the opposite of bland.

or the exact same

Throw in a few ..., or else I'll sue for misquoting.

Dunno. I might have to check the lyrics out for confirmation. Hehe.

Actually, what do you think of the lyrics?

I personally don't mind them too much, I mean they could be far worse than they are.

Album Rating: 3.5

Good question. I actually had about 5-7 individual lyrics written down in my notes (I only ended up using 2 in the concluding paragraph of the review), so that is usually a good sign.



There is some good stuff scattered here or there, but the band's use of lyrics has always been that way; short, sharp & repetitive. Keeping that in mind, this could be their best lyrical performance. But it's all relative.

Album Rating: 3.0

Yeah, sounds about right.



I have a review of this coming up by the way, I need to submit one to my local newspaper (it seems prudent because of their hype on Triple J Unearthed) so I may as well post it here as well.

Album Rating: 3.5

Good stuff. Will look forward to it... & I think your rating is fair.

Album Rating: 3.0

Yeah, I was thinking about bumping it to a 3.5 but then I realised that I actually don't enjoy listening to this album. There's very little that attracts me to it.
