When
you first start listening to these songs, you can’t but help feel like some
kind of joke is being played on you, the listener. The
first song (Though I wouldn’t technically classify it as a song) is mostly what
they call in the radio business “dead air”, with only a few little clinks and
clanks here and there. It makes just
enough noise so that when you begin to suspect you aren’t really listening to
anything (Maybe the song is frozen, maybe the song isn’t really there and it
was uploaded wrong, whatever your reasoning is for pressing play and hearing
nothing) you can be assured that the song is doing exactly what it is supposed to:
driving you nuts.
By
the end of the first track, we get some beeps and other sounds that make me
think of a modem dialing up, which leads us into more songs that actually are
songs. What follows is a poppy mess
that Neon Trees and Passion Pit would fight over the rights to own.
It’s
not that these songs are particularly bad- though they don’t stand out as being
particularly good either- but I am still not able to review them objectively
after that first track. Imagine having
never met someone before and the first thing they do when you meet them is
punch you in the stomach. Then they
explain that suckerpunch by saying, “Now review my music without being
biased”. Yeah. Right.
