THE REVIEW

After several listens to the "liars," or the Liars, I am very confused, but there are some certainties;

it's definitely an album different from the debut
it definitely has 10 songs and lasts 40.42 minutes
it's definitely not a bad album
it's definitely not an easy record
some sounds can definitely hurt your brain
it definitely comes with a bonus video

So what to say? An album to listen to over time, not suitable for a romantic dinner with a sweet girl, an album seemingly without melodies hidden by the various noises present, you can hear influences of arab on radar and
el guapo in the most "normal" song --there's always room on the broom- but otherwise it's just them.

It's hard to recommend purchasing it to everyone, but maybe that's exactly what should happen in a perfect world! Well, initially it gets a nice 4; over time, we'll see.

Liars

Liars are an American experimental rock band formed in 2000, widely described as stylistically restless: early punk-funk/post-punk roots give way to tribal, noise-driven and later more electronic approaches, with frontman Angus Andrew frequently highlighted in reviews for a shamanic, physical presence.

By Alessandro Gentili

 "A dark trip through the darkest recesses of the human soul, lyrics like mantras obsessively repeated."

 "Not to hear, but to listen to carefully and multiple times: you might not like it, but it’s impossible to remain indifferent."


By kyklos

 Their sound becomes murky, grabbing the listener by the hair and dragging them into a disorienting dimension made of rusty melodies and ghostly voices.

 An insane and undefinable album that leaves you stunned by its power and corrosivity.
