Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2009-05-26
Heavy rock with chorused guitars that as the cd progresses reveals a very heavy Killing Joke influence, memory. From our local friends at Alternative Tentacles (they never do us wrong, ever). Heavy rock tempered with melodies and guitar through chorus pedals. So its got a dark goth tone overall, but still heavy. Did I say Killing Joke? How about Scratch Acid/Jesus Lizard?

1) dark driving triplet heavy feel overall
2) mid paced, dissonant head bobbing beat with breakdowns
3) triplet beat and intensity starts to build, vocals up the ante into the “heavy” realm for a moment
4) triplet spooky rock, dark suicidal lyrics, don’t put no bridge barrier in place for this guy!
5) this one flat out channels Killing Joke, the best they did, a great rockin head noddin’ beat, the best!
6) tribal dark rock epic, a another one channeling the Killing Joke shit
7) upbeat near gallop rockin beat
8) a bit more dramatic swingy beat, melodic vocs
9) triplet “song”, its okay…
10) “Spanish version” of track 2, which is a winner to begin with
