“Live Free Or Don’t Tour” is the not so new City Of Ships vinyl-only release combining the band’s “Tour” and “Live Free Or Don’t” EPs on one album. This three-piece created an amalgam of all the post-something genres you can come up with in order to create one huge wall of sound. In these songs you’ll encounter lots of influences ranging from Planes Mistaken To Stars and Mastodon to Isis or Neurosis.
It’s very hard to pin these guys down but fact is they like to let the bass rumble while the guitar lays down some atmospheric riffage only to then have a vocalist come in who belts everything else out of the water. Except for the occasional messy transition where two ideas don’t really gel together like they ought to, this is one massive album that is nothing if not impressive.
Score: 8 out of 10
