Got my CD on Monday and just gave it a second spin last night. I definitely like the album, the first track in particular, though I've gotten a little distracted during both listens and I'm not sure I've given the second track due attention yet.
I particularly love the bass break near the end of the first track. A couple of things are cool about this part. First, the keyboard underpinning is great and you have to hand it to the keyboard player for being able to repeat that line so well. Second, the fuzz bass tone is awesome. Totally out of control, and yet fully under control. You can hear it just wanting to start feeding back, but it never does. The combination of these elements make this part absolutely riveting to me, a really "spine chilling" musical moment. Maybe I'm biased as a bass player, but it's parts like these that I hope for on albums, and this part delivered!
Definitely a nice package and I'm happy to have this. Wish it were just a bit longer, but there's no doubting the quality here. Looking forward to exploring more.
