This band is completely over rated and for the life of me I don't
understand the "buzz". What people hear in freeform improv that's cut up
into DAW sequenced niceties is beyond me. It's nice that such a band could get
noticed, but I sure don't hear anything striking on their CD. Something that
most any improv project I have ever been a part of could accomplish quite
easily. For those thinking this is something special, I HIGHLY recommend
checking out bands like Sleepytime Gorilla Museum or Thinking Plague. Great RIO
is 10 times what Battles will ever be
IMO. |
