SMASH OR TRASH - AMPLIFIER "Matmos"

[Niels (Mod)]

Here's the lead track from the upcoming new Amplifier-album "Echo Street". Release date 11th of march.

ZZzzzzz....What?..ehh STASH, I think. I WAS planning on buying this album, and I probably will, but I'm hoping for some uptempo-tunes. Again a band, that is supposed to be "Prog", but I don't think this is Prog at all. Is Radiohead Prog? I don't think so. There's a bit Radiohead or Wilco over this tune.

Release date is April here. If he does it again, I'll just buy it directly from Mr. Balamir, that's how I got "The Octopus". Plus the price for us is about $25. Damn.

I like this song so I'm giving it a SMASH. Nice headphone stuff, like the whole Octopus album. This is a slow build of a song, it definitely picks up towards the end. Me like.

I won't personally call it a smash, but I do like it. Nice melody on this throughout. Video is a little strange to me, though. But overall, when a single song can give you a mood/feel, then I think it's pretty impressive. And this one definitely has a feel, or mood, to it.

But, like Neils mentioned, if the whole album is in this vein, it might start to drag as a listen. But I'll give it a "one thumb up" as an individual track.

Stash - I sill echo everybody else's comments.  It's not bad, has an atmosphere about it.  But a full album might just put me to sleep, and that's dangerous, especially if I'm driving.

....ESPECIALLY if your driving....
