S(crap)s: Mur / Psygnosis / The Milton Incident / The Morganatics / Windbruch

17/03/14  ||  Global Domination

Mur: Mur

Lord K: Mur kinda means (brick) wall in Swedish. Even if Mur doesn’t hit me like a… eh… ton… of… eh… bricks, there’s actually some semi-decent stuff in here. 5

Ironpants: The mixes and matches going on here makes me a bit confused, interesting enough though, to make me listen through this album more than once. 6

Cobal: On the one hand, I’m sick of always being the staffer that grades stubs/AA albums above the average of the rest. On the other hand, 7

Habakuk: Not bad, keep at it. 6

Psygnosis: Human be[ing]

Lord K: Whoa! Not half-bad at all. With a moniker like that you kinda know what to expect, and Psygnos(pen)is deliver some modern quality. 7

Ironpants: Actually a band with some ideas in this batch. I thought it was some crappy core-ish shit at first, but they seem to have some kind of brains? 6

Cobal: Proficient as this may be, it’s just NOT for me. Avoid the cory shit—probably two thirds of the album—and try again. 4

Habakuk: Surprisingly good act for this feature. I guess being somewhat overproduced is part of the idea. 7

The Milton Incident: Innocence lost

Lord K: What happened with/at Milton? I’ll tell you what didn’t happen… No one wrote great music with/at Milton, that’s what. 4

Ironpants: Ohh man, that Milton incident was fucking weird, I understand the choice of moniker. 4

Cobal: Radio rock that’s bearable until the moment they switch the screamo shit on. Only if you’re trying to initiate some teen girl. 3

Habakuk: Is the term “Nu Metal” still around? Well, if that’s your thing, then go for them. 5

The Morganatics: Never be part of your world

Lord K: If Morgan Freeman had a band, they would be called this. 6

Ironpants: I hope you dont get too famous, cause you’re gonna get your asses kicked by Linkin Park in court. 4

Cobal: In my book, nothing that makes such love/hate feelings arise can fail. Really interesting yet unpretentious songwriting going on here. 6

Habakuk: Was that annoying System of a Down guy called Morgan? 4

---

Windbruch: No stars, only full dark

Lord K: And if Ricky Bruch had a band, it would be called this. What was the title, No farts, only full sharts? 3

Ironpants: Another one of those “one-man-band-I-have-no-friends” projects. Announced as black/depressive, but a bit too “beautiful” to qualify. Fucken long ass songs, come on! 4

Cobal: There’s huge necessity of a certain mood and attitude towards this so you can understand where it’s coming from, let enjoyment alone. Add some really annoying, anime-inspired tunes and that’s that: instant hate ensured. Pity. 5

Habakuk: I’m getting a strong Secret of Mana vibe. And then I feel a little down. =( 5

After going thru that crap, you most likely wanna read something way more interesting. You do, admit it.
