iTunes Review

Relocated from NYC to Berlin, Liars have spent their short musical career in search of exile. They reject rock music’s standard rhythm section and linear verse-chorus-verse-chorus songwriting schematic, preferring to assault their audience with intensely physical, cinematically leaning concept sound collages (on the horror side) that simmer until boiling over in catharsis. Drum’s Not Dead is the trio’s third album and the concept here centers around two characters, Drum and Mount Heart Attack, representing opposing energies. According to the band’s notes, “Drum is assertive and productive,” while MHA is “the reaction to Drum’s action, the embodiment of stress and self-doubt.” Whether listeners ever ascertain such a specific story is doubtful, but what is readily discernible is how creepy an album this is. It closes with the near conventional “The Other Side of Mt. Heart Attack,” but all before it is pure havoc. The otherworldly weeping that sets the sonic bed of “Drum Gets a Glimpse,” the punishing industrial barrage underneath the maniacal chanting of “Drum and the Uncomfortable Can,” the distant dissonant hum of “To Hold You, Drum” that sounds like a witch hunt proceeding over the hill all make for a challenging listen that keeps its musical footing just firm enough to not scale back down this treacherous sonic mountain.

Its really simple.
     
by KIRBOTRON says

I'm sure this review will get lost in that vast, unending pile of reviews, however I hope to convey to you what everyone else is trying to say, but more simply.

This CD, while being completely unconventional and anti-mainstream-everything, is still a masterful and beautiful work of art. In other words this album is like putting Animal Collectives oldest work together with some of Grizzly Bear's oldest work. Which, in my opinion, is a wonderful compliment because those are both bands who not only are masters of their genres (if you could even pin them with genres) but masters of pushing the boundaries of "conventional" music and pushing it into the mainstream. Even if pushing music into the mainstream was the last thing on the Liars mind when they made this CD.

So go listen to this because it is beautiful and it is a masterful work of art and it will greatly enrich your life and your iTunes library.

Radiohead-y
     
by Relief is on the way

This album has a radioheadish sound to it, kind of like if ok computer, and amnesiac were mixed together, but not really as good as if it actually happened
