Birds of Tokyo - ‘Broken Bones’

Although I haven’t really settled down and got cosy with Birds of Tokyo’s new disc Universes just yet, my initial reaction to the album is that it’s a fairly hit-and-miss affair. Having said that, ‘Broken Bones’, which is essentially the opening track on the disc (there’s an ambient intro song), is a wicked tune, and the best track on Universes.

BoT have some good tracks, and I like most of Universes, but Ian should stop mucking around and get back to Karnivool.

Nothing by BoT can ever replace Karnivool’s epic sound.

they’re two different sounds, but i reckon birds of tokyo will end up being the better of the two. Both played on different days at southbound on the same stage

Yeah – wicked band, mostly wicked album (especially White Witch), but come on Ian – Karnivool. It’s time.

Charge Group – ‘Lullaby for the Apocalypse’
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Only on a rare occasion does an album affect you so profoundly you’re spouting its credentials to all and sundry, including that crazy lady on the street who claims she’s a Nazi and should have “punched her fucking teeth out.”
