When “Nest”
first begins, it has a heavy, distorted sort of rock quality to it. It makes me think of a band like Thursday,
Thrice or even At-The-Drive-In, only in an instrumental sense. There are bits of sharp feedback and though
it maintains that essential feel throughout its entirety, there are some
alterations here and there.
From
what I would consider to be a mix of post punk and hardcore, this takes an
interesting turn to a faster paced post rock thrash that comes off a little bit
more like a Local H sludgefest. The
complexities of Primus make themselves known and I’m reaching for that math
rock comparison. Jimmie’s Chicken Shack
also just comes out as one of those bands that does a lot within the genre of “rock”
and that’s what I’m hearing here, albeit instrumentally.
By the
end, the cassette grows quieter. Horns
enter and they make their way known through a struggling verse that I can only
think to call broke down jazz, but that doesn’t in any way diminish the quality
of it. Through moments of classic rock this is just
an all around great rock album and as I can remember listening to some of the
best on cassette this just fits in perfectly.
