Music
has many levels, and to prove that I present to you this album by Cynic, which
is kind of an appropriate name because I did go into this album expecting the
worst for some reason and I am not entirely certain why.
On
one hand, this could be post metal or post hardcore and I could see some semblances
of why people might like it. It is a lighter version of Tool in many ways,
as well as bringing out the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and while neither of these
qualities are ones I look for in a new band to add to my friends list, perhaps
you do.
There
is also something else lighter in here that I struggled to place, but realized
after the fact that is indeed the sounds of the band Lit. This also has strong hints of when Limp
Bizkit covered Pink Floyd, which is arguably not the worst thing Fred Durst has
done.
So
this is why music is layered, why it has levels: Someone reading this could think “Hey, that sounds
cool to me, I’ll give it a try”, yet it just does not work for me on any of
those levels.
