they got tunes...

The Intelligence - Deuteronomy (2007)

Rating: 3.75/5.00
where 5 is an album where Al Green sings the entire If you're feeling sinister...

I just saw two fat buffaloes stuffed in a small tempo being driven somewhere. Animal cruelty was the last thing on my mind - what I was wondering about is how the heck they could get the two fatsos to go in - I mean the first one might have gone in easily but the how did she adjust to the next in line - did she draw a deep breath to flatten her tummy?

I'm a huge Mark Prindle fan (www.markprindle.com) and I got to know about this band from Mark. He had recommended them and to add to that - they are hard to find - no piratebay download for this! That was just too much to resist so I sought it out and gave it 3-4 listens. It got me excited enough to write this review...This is getting too long but just to summarise -

• This is as if the Fall had a singer who sang tunes - Lars Finberg sings tunes!
• There's a lot of cacophony below which there is this guitar going keeng keeeeng keeennnnn wuuunnn wuuuunnnn and the drums go dhish bhish dhish bhish BooooMMMMM and cops go waauuuun waaaaunnnn in Dating Cops :)
• Lars screams in between - I nearly hit someone on the road when he screamed in Tubes
• THIS IS A GOOD ALBUM though I don't like the title song but if given time i just might...
