New BRMC (?)
November 7th, 2008This is time for WTF reactions. BRMC came out with an album full of instrumental, ambient works. Ok, ok, this happened as a ’statement’ or something: this is their first
independent release and is only available only. This can be seen as a reaction, same as Radiohead’s or NIN’s but it’s BRMC. They don’t have 10 albums behind their backs and they are not legends…yet. I know that this kind of move has two typical effects on those who listened to the album: 1. they like how the rock band has a ‘deep’ ‘vision’ about ‘art’ and ‘the human soul’ not only a rock band with guitars and drums, 2. they hate it because it seems a forced attempt at making something irrelevant and unnecessary. I think I belong in the second group. I mean I really adore BRMC and all of the albums but this one is just a collection of annoying sounds ‘from the road’. And oh wow it came out on 27th of October and exactly at 3:33am! WOW! Ok, sorry, I don’t wanna be categorical…listen to the opening one down here and buy the album here. I’m just disappointed because, you know, you don’t need to make symbolic statements about the music industry and prove that you are ‘more’ than a rock band if you’re a rock band…why is this frustration there? Is it just me or anyone else sees this symptom with more bands who try to be artists instead of making ‘only’ rock or pop music?

Why shouldn’t bands reach out and try new things? BRMC don’t have to be just a rock band, bands can do whatever they want outside of the label spectrum. I dig it when bands act as artists and try new things.

i agree there, i’m a fan of experimentation and stuff but this one is just not it… it’s experimentation without the proper effort

I can’t wait until their next “real” album.

I love BRMC too, but “The Effects of 333″ is terrible. I have no problem with the band experimenting (Howl was great after all), but their latest efforts have really come up short– The “American X Session EP” was lackluster too. I feel like they’re trying to make a statement with this one, but all their second-rate ambient music says to me is, “We’re trying too hard.”

If you want to buy real estate, you would have to get the credit loans. Moreover, my father all the time utilizes a short term loan, which occurs to be really rapid.
