the chick.

I have played this record to death.

not exactly what I expect from a "review" (as I understand it) but an undeniable album and band. essential.

I’m adding two scary names that you zamatauri will surely find familiar: GAS GIANT (dk) and EARTHRIDE. It’s up to you.

yeah. but one thing, guys, the singer of Year Long Disaster is ghè! incredibly: he's perfect for the indie kid. the others are busy slinging mud on their guitars while he sings about Sunday morning sunshine outings. this isn't right.

yes

What a fucking album! What a fucking band... one of the few to stand out (and in a big way) from the '80s.

genius Damaskinos when he says: <<<the debut of Amplifier was explosive, everything erupted together, one song after another. The forward button didn't exist>>> how true it is! In Insider, however, Amplifier pushes even further on the experimental construction of the tracks with increasingly intricate sounds, hypnotic patterns capable of shifting frequencies and moving entire blocks of chords, pushing the limits of weaving complex melodies: the problem is that they don't always succeed well. Many drops in tone and quite a few mechanical passages. Doing better than their first album (they waited a whole 5 years before releasing it!) was a tough challenge. Personally, I remain hopeful for the future, I see them as a band with ENORMOUS potential and unpredictable margins for improvement. And if there’s one group I want to see live now more than ever, it's them. On October 26 at Transilvania.

"The Astronaut Dismantles HAL" is the EP that follows the eponymous one. In the digipack reissue of the debut, there’s another EP with two outtakes and the b-sides of the first two singles. BUY BUY BUY.

what the hell! it just came out today! and I had prepared a lengthy review!!! (very nice, very concise, very direct, and also spot on)
