The third offering from texas based Black Angels and probably the best.
Gone is the massive wash of reverb for something a little clearer but far more 60's sounding. The vocal production is nothing short of excellent as is the recording in general. Steph sound better than any other of their albums, the drums are big and round!
There is more of a garage sound about this album with some cracking little tunes (Telephone and Yellow Elevator being highlights).
If directions to see a ghost was a little to darkly psychedelic for you then pick this one, you'll love it!!

honestly I'm happy for this album, when getting it was half expecting and half- sure it was going to sound like the dark psychedelic vibe of their las two albums, anti-war, recesses of society exposure and hippy cynicism. Oddly enough in this album they're trying to sound more British in their tastes, I keep hearing snippets of style of The Horrors in their wall of sound.
Frankly their change was coming, after two albums of really dark negative thought, they would have blown their heads off from all the self imposed depression, (its not a bad thing, but a change in mood is good) , this album is quirky, hip and strangely disturbing in some hidden meaning in which i'm not going to explain, because I feel it ruins the fun of listening to good and real independent minded music, these guys I want to hang out with.

What an odd cd.
I really, really enjoyed the first half of the album. It hits a peak with Rivers of Blood, then...it's just a bit dull after that.
I'm hoping that in time the second half of the album will grow on me. However, I've been listening to it regularly for about a month now, and it hasn't happened yet.

3 is the magic number
Was getting a bit worried after the last album, would they totally go all the way towards that underlying Joy Division alternative rock sound and forget the 60's altogether? Read more
