Free Music Notes for III
Free Music Review: Mostly Good - But A Little Overlong
Hit: 4 Stars
Acid King made a highly revered album a few years back with "Busse Woods". The album put them on the stoner/doom circuit, showcasing some unique female vocals and chunky Sabbath styled riffs to create an often trippy and psychedelic sound. While "III" is similar in sound and style, at times it becomes a little dragged and tired sounding due to overlong song lengths, which is a shame, as this could have been a killer album.
To give the album due credit, there are enough moments of quality to warrant a decent rating and it should please the average fan of this genre. Songs such as the opener "2 Wheel Nation" showcases big fuzzy riffs, trippy vocals and is pleasantly concise at 5 minutes. As I mentioned earlier many of these songs tend to drag, with some around 6 and 7 minutes. "2 Wheel Nation" shows the band can create groove and power in a tighter structure. "Bad Vision" furthers this argument, being both my favourite track on the album and the shortest. "War of the Mind" is the one time where I feel the extended writing works, clocking in at 11 minutes, it does actually work. The song flows and grooves and fashions a perfectly psychedelic chorus. The rest of the tracks I find overlong and find myself getting a little agitated. Still, there are some moments of brilliance to be found here for fans of this genre.
