Open Season
After let's see four hours of listening to British Sea Power's new CD Open Season, I'll use the 5 star system and give it 3 out of 5. I'll go track by track.
1.It Ended On An Oily Stage - Best Track on the CD.
2.Be Gone - Main melody is great, the verses are great, but the chorus is just awkward, weird vocal layering and not much of a climax.
3.How Will I Ever Find My Way Home? - Pretty good song, not amazing, sung by the bassist, he does a pretty good job. Lyrics are ok, somewhat bland.
4.Like a Honeycomb - Pretty solid track. A slow one, but flows well.
5.Please Stand Up - Sounds very early 90's to me. The verses aren't bad but when the chorus hits you are teleported to the early 90's and you don't like it too much.
6.North Hanging Rock - Don't really like it, it never really gets me, the sound is just very thin, which i don't care much for.
7.To Get To Sleep - Alright track, somewhat humorous, but just not very good.
8.Victorian Ice - Great song, it's got a folk feel, but it's great. Main melody is really catchy, probably 2nd best track on the CD.
9.Oh Larsen B - Intro bass riff is cool, verse cool. It's about an ice shelf. Not an outstanding track though.
10.The Land Beyond - Pretty good track, slow track, somewhat soothing.
11.True Adventures - 1/2 noise, 1/2 song, doesn't really work.
Would I recommend you buy it? Probably not. Buy the "It Ended On An Oily Stage" single? Yes.
