Dude, that bass ROCKS! You hire Les Claypool?

1 - Instrumental Break: Isn't that most of this song? 2 - Arrangement: You've got some experimental elements. Pretty interesting actually. Keep going. 3 - Mood: Odd stuff man, odd stuff. I dig it. - RoaneSky from Houston, Texas on 29May2007

victor wooton bass? someon had a good understanding and use of theyre bass... very cool ... i thought this track was a little zappa influenced as well. very progressive. and the musician ship was done very well. here. very talented band but a little over peoples heads i think.. - musicmanvox from Brooklyn, New York on 29May2007

Awkward but cool Definetly hear some primus influence in there. The experimental feel was good. The chicken clucking at the beginning could be done without. - Caesura from Grandview, Missouri on 28May2007

Worth the listen Tight prog-funk here. Crazy morphs, the strange vocal styles continually evolve. Vast sonic textures and ambient landscapes painted through sounds. Very artistic. -tight breaks -chaotically artistic arr. -mostly tense mood - symbioticsimian from Miami, Florida on 27May2007

experi-MENTAL This has the humor and zaniness of Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa. Add to that some moments of Primus inspired convulsions, and you get this song. If you like that stuff, you'll find something to like here. Instrumental Break: Which one. I'm too blinded by pop to see the structure here Arrangement: This kind of music should always be structured for a reason. This feels narrative, and I think it works well. Mood: Weird. Which is good. - atomati from Brooklyn, New York on 20May2007

chickens! great tune so far, really neat guitarwork. im gonna check out who you guys are this is cool. drumming is always right on with the band, can you do this live? great bass work in the 2:15 area. Russian? Harasho? - Victor_Lester from Wall Street, Cheshire, Uzbekistan on 19May2007

Bizarre Nice use of mixed meter and tempo. Excellent bass and guitar work. Don't get the bizarre vocals, but I guess that is why this is "experimental" - CVilleGangstaz from Springfield, Virginia on 18May2007

Easy kid Reminds me of primus exept its annoying as hell. I like it One thing more power cords two things space it out a bit more three things less annoying! - pinned from Whittier, California on 17May2007

amazing bass amazing bass and great guitar the guitar riff is also very crunchy with a rythm you can tap your foot to i would cut out the screaming in the middle of the song and a crunchy voice would help - lasha_72 from Doylestown, Pennsylvania on 16May2007

aaaaahhh indeed Ha! I like the screams at the begining. I really dig the time signature change ups too. whhhaaaaaaa! thats crazy too. what language is this? portugese? sounds cool. you guys sound talented, but a little to crazy to grasp onto. mood is definately crazy. oooh wait, i like that instrumental break. nice guitar interplay between the Left and Right. and i dig the wierd sounds. - Pymander from Tucson, Arizona on 15May2007

Chickens and Screams Do you like random screaming in your music? Chicken sounds? Heavy guitars? Crazy time signature work that amazingly stays together? You'll enjoy this band. You seriously never know what's going to come next and you get a shock from each change. Vocals in spanish are sung, spoken, screamed, and fit the rapidly changing rhythms well. This is an otherworldly song truly fitting the experimental rock genre. - ralpho from Springfield, Illinois on 15May2007

Randomonium Right away I can tell that the production is terrific. The music reminds me a little of Mr. Bungle's Disco Volante album, which isn't something I'm a big fan of--a little too obnoxiously random for my tastes. This is good because it's original, but it's not particularly listenable because it never really settles down and lets you get into the groove. Around the two-minute mark the music gets nice and pretty, and then we have some nice progression. It was definitely a good listen, and the song sounds very complete, but I don't think I'd ever come back to hear it again, other than out of morbid curiosity. - Anoremix from Fairfield, Connecticut on 11May2007

Groovy Nice production, the bass sounds tight. The vocals are especially grating on ones nerves, but the mood is nice and the arrangement is interesing and tight. - benvh from Marquette, Michigan on 8May2007

Melody? What are you getting at? I do like the chicken. I think you need to get really drunk and talk to someone about your dad. - GRJunk from Salt Lake City, Utah on 3May2007

great instrumantal break! awesome bass line begins the song! accompanied by a good guitar riff. the vocals seem quite nnoying at first, then really annoying with that chicken sound. but wait...he begins to sing and just when one thinks everything will get better, another annoying scream. NOOOO!. i think i might appreciate if i had the slightest idea what he was saying... - kal_el from El Paso, Texas on 2May2007

Good, but needs to tighten up. OK then... Using the word "experimental" infront of your chosen genre is just a reason to do what the hell you want. And I suppose sounding like he's under going electric shock treatment followed by chicken noises is, as I suspect, exactly what the lead singer had in mind at the top of this track. I wish it was in English though, as I would have liked to have known what the subject matter is. This is quite well executed stuff, though. A little loose for my liking (the drumming, as good as it is, needs to tighten up with the guitars and bass - or is it the other way around?), and has a sort of Primus feel to it in places. Excellent tones on all instruments throughout. Arrangements are unexpected and quirky with a nice mellow instrumental break. Good stuff. 4 stars though, because music that's as quirky as this needs to be super tight with everybody playing together to really make it work. There's a fine line between precision playing and everything sounding messy. Check out a band called Zonder on this site in this same genre to see what I mean. Peace & respect. - Downdog from Manchester, United Kingdom on 1May2007

this is a riot Haha awesome. Very experimental, and just wild really. I like the hints of grindy metal, and there's some sick technical stuff goin on in there. The instrumentation is solid, it's gotta be hard to get everyone on the same page with this stuff, and the arrangement is progressive. The mood is definitely trippy. With stuff like chicken samples and wild noises, not only does it keep you intrigued but it makes you laugh. Great job! - asmalltown from Troy, New York on 29Apr2007

ahhaagaaagghhaahhwhoooaaaoa THIS AIN'T EXPERIMENTAL ITS CNTS TAKIN THE PEE OOT O THE GARBAGEBANDS SITE WHICH I LUV.LIKE IT ALL ITS A BIT DIFFO. - Promoter3 from Scotland, United Kingdom on 27Apr2007

far out i really dig this song..kinda reminds me of mr. bungle..still pretty sick. love the different time signatures. love the whistling. Im glad that there is a revival of good musicians canceling out the bad ones. - LightSideDark from Downey, California on 27Apr2007

By far the funniest intro I have heard in a l.. The arrangement sounded a little busy in the beginning. I will say that it kept me on my toes because I didn't know what to expect. It almost sounded like super mario in parts. - severecloud from Richland, Washington on 26Apr2007

Review Wow, there's a lot to listen to in this song..... Slapbass, an occasional chicken, drumbreaks all over the place, metalguitars and some vocals. Many ideas.... and these guys CAN play, but sometimes it's a little too chaotic.... I'm left with the feeling, that I've been listening to at least 5 short songs..... well, maybe that's what this band is all about, so I won't comment on that. Great musicianship, cool ideas, but a little too OTP for my liking. Good luck! - baxull from Delft, Netherlands on 24Apr2007

ENOUGH ok , we know that basses make that slap sound. yo , dude on the mic , shut up please. Guys , this isnt gonna work . Primus happened already , 10 years ago. drummer , leave the band . you're actually decent when i can hear you. - ComaChaser from Brooklyn, New York on 22Apr2007

CHAOS First of all major props for originality here. This is song is just plain off the wall insanity. Don't get me wrong I like the insanity but the vocals were not all that great and really ruined the song. It would have been fine instrumentally in my opinion. As far as arrangement goes, very original and ever changing. The bassist was amazing and reminded me of Les Claypool. The mood was well chaotic really, not much to say about that. Overall good song and awesome experimentation, the vocals will have to grow on me I suppose. - Herodrummer34 from Harpersville, Alabama on 17Apr2007

hell yeah primus esk, love the prominet bass in the intro. the screaming vocals in the beggining remind me of kurt cobain. this song is really original and is ll over the place, but i like that it pretty cool. i also love the instrumental breaks and the arrangment of the song. - OrangeVest from Ashford, Connecticut on 10Apr2007

Old MacDonalds Experimental in all it's ways. Experimenting with rythms, riff and what not more. Every now and then I find it somewhat far-fetched, but there are some really good parts in this song. The last minute is a good example of that. The main returning riff with that neurotic edge to it is also very good! Vocals are great, although my Russian (if I heard it well) is almost non-existing. So I have no clue about the statements you're making. The one thing I don't understand is the intro with the farm sounds in it. You don't need that. - Nynke from Groningen, Netherlands on 10Apr2007

Keep the Chickens Out the Bass Shack The energetic bass deserves the crazy chicken man taking a break and its good to see it quickly turns very jazzy (till the experimental screachers kcik back in!) - gothick from United Kingdom on 5Apr2007

Primus? i don't know about that intro, it seems a little disjointed. Definitely a very heavy primus influence. The instruments don't always seem to mesh well together. The screaming is more obnoxious than anything else. The vocals when not screaming aren't bad. The break for some reason is reminding me of the super mario theme. Definitely interesting and very experimental. - willh212 from Newburyport, Massachusetts on 3Apr2007

chicken clucks Love the bass, unique guitar sounds, wierd screaming and chicken clucks going on here, lol. Unique stylistic shifts from the heavy to the kinda wierd mellow parts. Experimental rock is definitely the catergory for you I can't really define your style other than to say that you sound a bit similar to System of a Down, but even that is sort of a stretch. The drummer sounds very talented, as well as the guitarist and hell even the bassist has a nice style, excellent musicianship all around and a nice unique style to go with it. The singer is diverse to say the least, but a bit to avante garde for my taste. - jessemuench from Mount Calvary, Wisconsin on 2Apr2007

angular Intro- very interesting, and very musical. The screaming is bizarre. The "buck" ing was like a claypool kinda thing to do. The odd time is messing with my head a bit too. Instrumental Break- Full of pieces that don't fit on purpose. Its so awkward sounding, but thats what you wanted. Like a Primus experiance. Arrangement- Bizzare, angular, lots of high points, lots of low points, can't understand how it could be memorized, but good job. Its like all the parts that don't fit got put together, I liked it. I can see why this would be experimental. Mood- The mood is erratic. At times satisfied, at other times totaly insane. Its tough to narrow it down nemore so i'm not even gonna bother. Overall- I'm sure what to say about this one here boys, so I'll just say that it intrigued me, I did like it and what more is there? Oh yeah, maybe don't tell claypool you stole his chicken song. - SteveTelehus from Walkerton, Ontario, Canada on 1Apr2007

start stop freeform rock 1 - Instrumental Break,i assume starting at the 2 minute mark ,reminds me of genisis in one of their faster interludes. 2 - Arrangement;the song seems to be an instrumental with short vocal bursts.very freeform ,not exactly a arrangement to be pinned down but does the trick if you need a constant surprise. 3 - Mood;very good mood set with very dynamic playing and heavy beats.the vocals are very well done in contrasting with the instrumental nature of the band. it is like your signiture...best wishes,probity - probity from San Marcos, California on 30Mar2007

madness ok, this bass player and guitar player seem to be the same guy, there on!, - zaidaandzander from Elkford, British Columbia, Canada on 30Mar2007

Zappa in Budapest? LOVE the bass riffs at the intro. And the guitar parts. OK is a chicken sacrifice imminent? Santeria Metal? Holy Shit are you guys channeling the same demons as the last band? OK Satan has left the building...in fear & loathing. Hispanohablantes quizas? Italian? Croatian? Hungarian? Oh and now the middle Bahavishnu Orchestra section. WTF? This sounds really cool. I love the bass/drums/guitar in this part. It's so subtle and haunting (contrasted with the garage bash in the first part). You guys are WACKED. And quite skillful. Very accomplished time signatures (which means very adept drumming). I'm so curious what the hell you're trying to accomplish and where on earth you come from. - jeff_roberts from Heidelberg, Germany on 28Mar2007

Make me laugh! Ha ha! This band makes me laugh! The vocals are sporadic, but funny. What language is this? I like songs in other languages, because I the vocals don't come across as being so literal. The bass at 1.30 sounds like it's stolen from the Primus song, "To Defy the Laws of Tradition." The ambience in the bridge is pretty nice and creates a positive mood. - cubehead from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 26Mar2007

I'm not going to say PRIMUS CHICKEN You'd had to say that this song has an interesting vocal to say the least. And that ain't english jack. "Say it in english". No, seriously, I enloyed the song a great deal, but I have a feeling that these dudes ARE NOT looking for commercial success. Talk about musical talent, they got it. The song-writing is awesome, but this song has plenty of sharp corners and is not for the feint-of-heart. I think that Hillary should use it for her campaign song. Couldn't you just imagine her walking out on stage, smiling and waving, while this tune blares over the loud speakers. She should use this or the sound-track to the original Planet of the Apes. Whatever she decides, I have decided that I very much like this experimental rock production. - thejokerman from Norseville, Valhalla, Norway on 25Mar2007

screaming and clucking and portuguese? This is the kind of piece which would have been much better to experience LIVE, to be able to SEE the performers scream, cluck and otherwise make interesting and irritating noises. The free-form tempo, the stops&starts, was very effective. It seems that you all have played together quite a bit; the band flowed nicely in-synth in an out-of-synch way. Ya know what I mean?? The section starting at 2:00 was particularly imaginative to me. Very nice combination of sounds, almost hypnotic. - OO@613967~Cameron_Kopf from Bisbee, Arizona on 25Mar2007

good? the production of this song is frustrating in that it never really offers the intensity i can tell its attempting to. the guitars should be louder, but i like the sense of urgency - thejkproject from Unspecified on 24Mar2007

holly chicken cluck holly chicken cluck! That got me to chuckle at the end of a long day, so thanks. I dig the bass playing in this song, especially the big fat glisses. The jam from :28-:50 could be developed into a song of it's own. Not too crazy about how the singer barks at me, but he knows when to let the rest of the band play without him. I do like the vocals from 2:54 to the end of the song. The mood shifts all over the place. - BrittPoplin from Covington, Kentucky on 22Mar2007

Hello Mr. Bungle Yeah, this reminds me of Bungle. The mood is very Trainspotting. The instrumental break has a lot of creativity. I like the variety that the piano brings to the whole song because it is quite soft so it contrasts very well with the rest of the music. Good Job - mmagassi from Corpus Christi, Texas on 21Mar2007

cool breakdown I like the breakdown toward the end where the song gets soft and chill. That whistle sound is pretty. I think you guys sound really tight and it's a good recording. - psychedelicdiscoangels from Jersey City, New Jersey on 14Mar2007

very funny. The chicken thing, very funny i've been laughing for whole review. Instrumental Break oh, that instrumental break. i didnt really even notice it, which means one of two things. One it works nicely and fits with the rest of the song so well that it doesnt stick out ,or two i wasn't listening but my moneys on the first option. Arrangement Nice arrangement actually after a second listen. Mood Well it kind of sounds like pantera and maybe soulfly on the weekend with a couple of grams of meth on them. Not something i would put on at a dinner party of something but still very nice. Aiight dawgs you worked it out. - VinSin from A Good One, New Zealand on 10Mar2007

solid reminds me of a lot of the stuff i was checking out in the late 80s early 90s thanks for not singing in english, i get so sick of that convention right now, i only wish the drum recording was a little better - someone got out of control with the compressor making the kit sound like styrofoam cups otherwise, everything sounds good hear and thanks for being yourself - garagerus from Portland, Oregon on 8Mar2007

slappy bass I like the slappy bass player. he sure knows how to play. the insane vocalist however, the chicken balks, and the deep metal like distorion I do not like. This song is all over the place in timings and parts. That is a positive. I love a song where I can't really tell where it is going next. The players in this band all have talent except well... the vocalist. But if that's the direction you guys are trying to head I guess that's okay. just not my style - carnindyle from Weedsport, New York on 8Mar2007

Call the Police The instrumentation in this track is at a very high level. I like the arrangement, all over the place. The melodies are complex and well thought out, along with the rhythms. I like the drummer, I believe the double kick is a bit overused for my taste, but a really good drummer overall. The vocals are original! The slap bass playing is a bit over the top at times as well. Great band, keep it up! - snailassembly from Baltimore, Maryland on 7Mar2007

intense the song is, well, how else can i put it, intense. Strange guitar riffs and off drum beats. super cool noises and screams. Can't really understand the lyrics but you dont need to in a cool track like this. Awesome guys! - Afiction from Chico, California on 27Feb2007

Interlocking Nice interlocking guitars and bass, Primus meets Discipine-era Crimson. Vocal was a bit annoying for my tastes. A little sloppy in parts, needs to be really tight. Nice interlude, melodic in its whole, in a way, without having one solo. THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL ROCK. - Spaceplayer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 25Feb2007

ahhhh! this song makes me want to go, "ahhh!" well let's see... chicken noises. This is very noisy and full of random changes and fancy rythym things. I don't like any of those things I just listed. I kind of like the vox at like one minute - the ones just before and after the "Ahhhh"s, dig. And then it gets grateful dead-y for a stretch. How do the various components fit together? Really, this is another one of those carefully crafted messes that one encounters a lot in experimental. No me gusta. sorry - mrstrauss from Temple City, California on 22Feb2007

interesting This tune has some good and some bad points to me. I dislike the yelling at the beginning but you softened me up with the chicken sounds. I like the contrast between the heavy chugging and jazzy action. Inventive. The arrangement is cool but it sacrifices a groove that you can sink into for one that makes you pay attention. More a brain than a body experience. The instrumental break is my favorite part...that's lovely. Your drummer is awesome. You guys have your own thing going on. Cheers. - zissou from Cedar Hills, Oregon on 19Feb2007

Track Of The Week on 7May2007 in Experimental Rock

gombikova dierka Band: SRAMOT Genre: Experimental Rock (Ultrabetonhandric..

Chaos Theory Well produced chaotic intro with powerful vocal delivery and rocky instrumentation makes for engaging listen. arrangement is good and melody supports song well. Well produced. Vocals are good and suit the song. the abstract and heavy guitar work serve the song well. - toykult from Montreal - London on 22Sep2007 nice rhytms hello fellow slaws, me a Pole, you i suppose Czech probably, anyway nice enough mix of bad boy rhytms and guitar riffs for the riffs and good play sake,at e.g. 0 50 very nice experimental things, nice 'dis-tonal' singing, try singing in english, thats what I do. this way nobody knows i am a Pole. hope to become famous sooner this way, wy chlapcy dneska dobra play today, naschled - nikifour from Poland on 20Sep2007 Cacauphony (SP?) Lots of crazy melodies and time changes. Pretty cool guitar work...the drumming and bass playing are dynamic...can't understant the lyrics...is it spanish? Strange vibe, yes this is experimental...especially the end. cool end! - woodenghost from Brooklyn, New York on 19Sep2007 A little Bungle don't you think?.... I can pull three Mr. Bungle songs right out of here. I haven't even heard Bungle in 10 years so it's probably really glaring. Well played, but ripping other musicians off isn't experimental, musicians have been doing it since the begining of time. Aside from it being a cover of "Travolta", it was well played and presented. - TrevorRTodd from Carmichael, California on 16Sep2007 Unexpected Gem The guitars were absolutely genius in this unexpected gem. I really liked how the vocals emulated the style of the guitars, harmonies and such. Very origional, off kilter, but surprisingly enjoyable and listenable. - gabrielsmusicbox from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2Sep2007 Love those guitars! Coxon of Blur comes to mind in the intro... I do not speak what you are singing in, but it is hardly important...the music carries so much of this, that I can feel? what they are saying? Melody is really good...singer's voice is not that good, but he hits the notes good and all... Chord structure? Highly inventive...you will win this round... Sounds like Mr. Bungle and Blur... And head-aches... - LeifAdams from Scio, Oregon on 24Aug2007 Difficult Listening Foreign language track. Is it Russian? The arrangement gets a little too Dream Theater-ish for my tastes, but exhibits musicians informed about odd meters. Very odd ball harmonies. Good dissonance! I'd call this Progressive Rock. Not too bad. - emallove from Boston, Massachusetts on 24Aug2007 Aggresion outlet Very interesting blend, I hear many influences or similarities. I can appreciate the time that probably went into this piece... difficult progressions and structure. The vocals, even though I don't understand the language, had an anger and aggression to them, but well sang. I particularly liked the sound of the picked bass, it gave it a unique sound. the vocals hammered out the melody very diffinative and the chord structure was well thought out. - randybeidelschies from Naples, Florida on 24Aug2007 review cool song. really liked the guitars. they are mixed well and sound cool. good guitarists. i like it - carbombderby from Indianapolis, Indiana on 17Aug2007 Mionori Very interesting use of minor and major contrast in the intro. What language are the lyrics? They're a bit too wailed, keep them down too Earth, more growly. I LOVE the riff after the first vocal section! It's all very accomplished, I like. Melodies are odd but definitely work, don't change 'em. Cool. - Vanishers from Sherborne, United Kingdom on 15Aug2007 angular latin american funk?!? Intriguing this one - the start had me prick up my ears - gang of four and the pop group and loved the vocals (are you guys from south america?!) All over time signatures and frank zappa influences - good chords and melody make this stand out from the crowd - Spaceboy1979 from Mexborough, United Kingdom on 8Aug2007 Cool idea, a little rough Nice songwriting! The chord structure and melodic riffs were really cool, however the execution and overall band "tightness" of these riffs could have been better. I dug the combination of Latin and rock feels. The vocals kind of surprised me. They really didn't fit with the rest of the song. But if you consider that the vocal section of the song is meant to be in a completely different feel than the instrumental section, it totally works. - Sokools from Yakima, Washington on 29Jul2007 Wow, cool Great opening...cool harmonizing between the bass and guitars. Then we got some Jamaican reggae happening. Cool experiment there. I like the catchy riffs and the bridge at :50...wild, man. Great mix...everything is separated nicely. Really excellent tune...it kept me off balance the entire time, yet focused :) - Jim_L from Boston, Massachusetts on 25Jul2007 cool timing i like to being for when i are being. makes me to want for me to be good job. - darkestofwhite from Green Bay, Wisconsin on 19Jul2007 Well, um, unique, that's for sure... ...with the verse sounding like a barbershop quartet from an alternate universe- and this coming on the heels of math-metally guitar skronk... It's interesting, 'cause I've not heard anything like it before, but I can't say that I enjoy it. I really can't figure out what you guys are going for here. Weird? Loud? Weird/loud? I mean, that's what it is, so ok... but that doesn't quite make it work as a song. - bstone1435 from Oak Park, Illinois on 19Jul2007 cantano veloso meets rage really interesting stuff gentlemen...Kinda of normal penditonic riffage but the beautifully construcdted vocals with amazing counterpoint let this track shine...Im really digging this..the chord structure could maybe use a little more constanence...but I mean when making metal of this type its not a requirment....and at 2:15 this song is really just the right length....reall swell job dudes. - SpanishForce from Staten Island, New York on 16Jul2007 crazy! this one has a lot going on in it. the guitars are working together as well as the vocals. very nicely done. - ErvinStellar from New York on 10Jul2007 Interesting... I thought the dissonant guitar stuf fint he intro was great. The vocals reminded me a bit of the Lion King. This was certainly experimental. I think, to a large extent, you pulled off the experiment. I'm not sure what language you are speaking in, nor am I sure if I would ever listen to this again, but it certainly held my interest, and was well done, too. - robertson5 from San Diego, California on 8Jul2007 deconstruction dissonance is the way to go! the song earns credit for innovative singing. nothing more intersting than using your ability to sing and write music to deconstruct it by using dissonant noise structures and guitar play. presumably a fantastic live experience. - DeathOfTheFairy from San Francisco, California on 5Jul2007 Upbeat Dementia The song starts with this very energetic upbeat. The verse enters with some interesting guitar lines and chugging palm mutings. The vocals are interesting, yet I would recomend to keep just one vocal. The next section of the song has some nice off-tempos. Featuring some great chord work, very well mixed. Second verse continues to present more variation in interesting time signatures. I feel this System of a Down feeling, but obviously taken to a much more experimental or prog level. Finally the band delivers a very whacky and excellently executed outro. Definitely the best part of the song. Awesome song. Has cohesiveness and variation. Just the detail of the 2 voices in the first verse. Elsewhere vocals fit just fine. Congratulations! - mutante from Monterrey, Mexico on 19Jun2007 Review Drums and guitar are cool in this song. Not sure if the vocals fit in the style though. Mix is good and clear...can hear all the parts well. The song as a whole is a bit scattered with all the different parts to it, but I guess that's OK if that's what you were aiming for. - simiasescape from Middletown, Rhode Island on 18Jun2007 well vocals are terrible. bass line is groovy. timing is not very good. work on that and it might be okay. - castinglotsforlaci from Eastland, Texas on 3Jun2007 Funky bassline The bassline in the intro immediately stood out for me. The track reminds me a lot of Primus or Dinosaur Junior. The vocal harmonies could use some work. - thosedamntwins from Seattle, Washington on 28May2007 cool the vocals are good and the melody is awsome the chord structure could use some work. - sl420 from Escanaba, Michigan on 26May2007 Very cool Really got me from the start. Really liked the vocal part, very cool layers. I really don't know what you're saying but I like it. Very cool to hear all the musical parts. Very cool changes. Very talented. I really like the beat and the movement of the parts. The bass line is great lurching in the back. The voices are really good together. Overall a great song, loved it. - hateandpretty from Muncie, Indiana on 22May2007 Fantastic You know, more often then not, in odd time signatures, it happens that people will simply "cut off a 4/4 groove" and begin the next bar early. But, in this case, you guys have a groove that flows from measure to measure. GREAT SENSE OF COMPOSITION never hinders upon great feel either. You have it all. EXCELLENT performance, catchy hook, GREAT production, cool polyrhythmic manipulation (the likes of Dillinger), and a great sense of excitement as well. I would buy this. - ONaNarrowPlain from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 16May2007 Very different, even for experimental rock The guitar harmonies in the intro are really cool, but the actual melodies played are a bit too chaotic for my tastes. The vocals are really cool, and there's plenty of adventure going on in this track. There's a lot of fiddling with different time signatures and crazy movements, somewhat akin to Mr. Bungle, except that it sort of falls apart into musical nonsense at the end. I don't feel I have the authority to say this is good or bad, because it sounds very complete and original. I enjoyed it for what it was. - Anoremix from Fairfield, Connecticut on 4May2007 interesting weird intro seems to not making any sense... then everything makes sense when the foreign language vocals come in. when i close my eyes during this song i immediately find myself in a weird oriental novelty store i quickly want to leave from. if this was your objective and vision for this song, GREAT JOB!!! - kal_el from El Paso, Texas on 3May2007 Sore Throat? RRiiiiiiccooooolllaaaaaaaa! Rock on. Fun with Guitars. A little Frank Zappaish. Not sure I'm drunk enough for this one though. Or, maybe I just had a good childhood. - GRJunk from Salt Lake City, Utah on 3May2007 Weird, but heavy... but I thought this was Jane's Addiction during the intro! I loved the drum work, very Stephen Perkins. I love the odd meters you have in there. Its like this song has an identity crisis. I really like the guitars as well, well produced & played. The only weak part of the track would have to be the vocals, and they're not 'weak' at all, just the song hassuch a high level to live up to. Good sound, I liked it. - snailassembly from Baltimore, Maryland on 2May2007 This is cool Wow...very interesting. Before the vocals, I thought it was gonna be like Bad Brains, but once the vocals kicked in, it had a very south african vibe. Nice riff at the 1 minute mark. Great guitar player. - freedspeak from Austin, Texas on 23Apr2007 What is that crazy rhythm? This is either a rock song from some (slavic?) exotic country, or else an amazing synthesis of many rock styles to generate a truly world music ecstatic chamber of chops. There is a crazy 7/4 rhythm or something at the beginning that made me just want to stomp on the floor. God is that cool! Omigod just before the end I thought you were going to segue into Purple Haze, but instead a rabid voice commanded everyone to stop, and by God they did! I detected influences ranging from Blondie to Frank Zappa to Igor Stravinsky. Keep this coming it is a genuine education about how rock and roll will change the world. - jabez from Madison, New Jersey on 22Apr2007 shab shab Very nice experimental folk indie rock (?) What country are you from? what are you singing? - mskoki from Riga, Vidzeme, Latvia on 17Apr2007 Primus? This reminds me a of a Primus tune or maybe even Zappa. The tune has a lot of different elements to it. Funk is a prime focus here. The sonics are good and I can hear everything clearly. I don' think the lyrics are in English, but they work. - bb67 from Louisville, Ohio on 17Apr2007 Finally! Whoa, interesting mix of instruments and tones, have to start this over. Love the two guitar mix, finally something in this genre that actually experiments in musical definition. The double vocals are perfect fit for intro. Drums sound great, bass is good, mix is dead on. Love the chaotic ending. Great stuff fella's giving you *****. - tomit from St. Petersburg, Florida on 11Apr2007 Unique sound Different time signatures are great. I love the vocals. Very ethnic I think. I hope they mean something good. Chord structure is complex and sounds great with the vocals. - Cartee from Huntsville, Alabama on 9Apr2007 gfg The song works on 1 level to make itself distinct, musical twists: rythmic twist, latin vocal harmonies, lots of punches and chord changes. This is only one level. There is also the whole sound and production level that has been avoided probably because of two much focus on the musical twists level. - BarlosWine from Quebec, China on 9Apr2007 good reminded me immediately of red hot chili peppers. is that an actual language? the band is tight - almost like a metal/jazz mix. unique mix of styles. performances are super tight. love the voices harmonizing. it takes a tight band to pull this off. very technical, not random at all. good work. - sergiusgregory from Homer, Alaska on 5Apr2007 Hum Just kind of curious what this song is about. Sounds very interesting, though. I love the guitar. - lizardking43 from Barrackville, West Virginia on 4Apr2007 2 minute boil 1 - Vocals,very unusual ,i would say a little harsh at begining of song but fits the music.good singers doing very experimental music. 2 - Melody;melody is good ,the song keeps your interest. 3 - Chord Structure;very freeform,reminds me of a combo of "yes" and "frank zappa".the danger, is the song loses a defined idenity by this approach but if you want something to relish in a jazz like sort of way,it fits the bill. this is very well produced music,very creative and lots of energy.best wishes,probity - probity from San Marcos, California on 27Mar2007 is that polish or russian? nice to hear people NOT singing in english very primusesque vibe without the stupid annoying vocals some solid guitar playing here and i really like the intertwining vocals nice job - garagerus from Portland, Oregon on 26Mar2007 Strong and Slamming Vocals are strong, very solid instruments from the start. Have no idea what language - but the quality of the vocals is great. Everything, including the mix sounds top-notch. Good job!!! - bunnybrown from Los Angeles, California on 25Mar2007
