  4. listening to The Brew... not bad... really not bad
  5. Ladies and gentleman, I'm in!
  6. 3 songs into The Brew... Awesome. Brand new to me. Refreshing...
  7. Listening to Mute now, awesome album so far!
  8. Good to have you on board, Tim.

    I started to Play this album yesterday on YouTube, but I had to Pause it after Eject to do something and forgot to return to it. I liked what I had heard though. Will give it a full run through either tomorrow or Friday now.
  9. So, so good. I sense a strong hint of The Cult with a dash of Soundgarden and a throat punch of good, solid, straightforward rock-n-roll.

    Thanks for sharing this.
  10. Thanks for the first hints lads, glad you're enjoying the album and the band so far
  11. Work started again a few weeks ago so I haven't had time to do these albums for a while now. If I have any time Saturday or Sunday I will try to get one of these last two in though.
  12. The Brew - Control

    Never heard of these guys. But looking forward to listening. The songs titles are very cool.

    Repeat kicks us off and I like it. Very driven song, and I quite like the vocals, but let's see if I can stand a full albums worth of this. Eject has the lyric "Now I suspect that I'm in too deep / I'll ask to borrow 007's ejector seat" which could've have been written by an intellectual tortoise. Other than that humorous line, it's a good song. "Eject, at the point of effect" is quite catchy. Mute is not too different from what we've heard before, there's something very Muse about the 2:55 mark. Ok song, though nothing really stands out as in the previous two. At the point of Pause, I'm hoping for something a little different. I really like the intro and there's promise that we're in for some variation. I really like the tone of the guitar at points during this song (mainly the start and end). I guess we can call that a slower song, it does peak towards the end. Shuffle is filed in the same box as Mute, for me. Ok, but not noteworthy. Quite a bombardment. Fast Forward is a catchy little number. "I'm gonna fast forward!" Sounds like an updated 80's rock song. Skip is something I could arguably do to this song. Chorus is pleasant, but the verses are somewhat forgetful. What's this at the start of Stop though? A softer sound, I like it. Play is cool. I'm getting tired of these solo's though. "Oh, I think I'll play the music!" - some famous name dropped in this one, Bowie, Lennon, McCartney. I like this one. Finally, closing the album we have Rewind, which is a clever place to put a song titled as such. I won't be rewinding just yet though. Another damn solo, but ok otherwise. I do like how it ends.

    Overall. Not entirely my cup of tea, but by no means awful. I could listen to it again in full, but it's probably not something I'd choose to do often. If you like a harder sound, then you'll probably thoroughly enjoy this. But for me, smaller doses are fine.

    Top three tracks:
    - Eject
    - Fast Forward
    - Repeat
