God, what a bunch of self-indulgent wankers! It’s like In The Pines headed in the studio with a bunch of halfassed whiny ideas, hoping they’d somehow miraculously transform into songs. Guess what? Didn’t happen. So I end up wasting half an hour of my life listening to halfassed whiny ideas that are supposed to be songs.
This six-piece from Kansas City, MI boasts two guitars, a bass, a violin, a viola, a pump organ, drums and five vocalists. So it’s not like they don’t have the possibility of creating something beautiful. Yet somehow they end up with melodies and lyrics that are repeated over and over again up to the point where I wanna trash my stereo just to reach some kind of climax. Not a good thing for music that’s supposed to be soothing and warm.
Anyway, I doubt I’ll ever become a big fan of this band. Thanks for letting me rant.
Score: 3 out of 10
