okay, this isn't usually an avenue of music that i liesurely stroll down, but this is was a submission, so the least i can do is give it the old college drop-out try.
there are three things that stick out to me on this release. one is the sampling, which is top notch, if you're into that sort of thing. the different samples definitely fit in with the music. the vocals find themselves on the low end, sometimes blending in and almost becoming the bass line. this band uses a drum machine, but it's not nearly as corny as it could be.
there are some negatives to this release though. at times, the music plays back seat to the
sampling and groans from the vocalist. there's also a fuzz on the recording. the entire thing. i'm guessing this was done on purpose, so i can't really fault them for it.
my favorite song from autumn is susannah, which starts out with a comparatively mellow riff, and over four minutes turns into a cacophony of sound. it's almost as if there's a sonic wall being built right in front of me and then crashes down at the final moments... followed by a sample from dirty harry.
this is why i'm glad i started this blog though. it's given me a chance to hear all kinds of music i
wouldn't have had the chance to otherwise. also, keep sending me your music, i love listening to new stuff.
