Free Music Notes for What Burns Never Returns

Free Music Review: Stiil trying to understand what I first heard....
Hit: 5 Stars

but realizing that it doesn't matter.
I'm just going to add to the hyperbole here and write that What Burns...
is one of the best "rock" albums I have ever heard or ever will hear. Simply otherworldly, as if aliens heard snippets of earthly music on their way through the interstellar spaces and decided to make something in response to the fragments they captured.
Be warned though, if you're not prepared to interact with the music, you'll be in for some frustration: this is not an album that gives up its secrets willingly or easily.
The prototypical Don Cab elements are here, tapped inerlocking guitars, rock solid bass, and fluid/spastic drumming, but they have evolved. Williams and Banfield play more fragile, shimmering lines here, reminiscent of The Belew/Fripp sound in 8o's King Crimson, and as if they are teasing out the history of rock licks through some alien filtering process. Pat Morris locks in with Damon Che more frequently, but does get to play some fat, funky(?)patterns. Damon Che is the octopus, but his sound is drier, focused, and more integrated than in previous efforts.
Album opener "Don Cab 3" starts out with the same drum line that ends II and rides it into an epic that shifts from abstract soundscape to bass heavy groovefest. Along with "Slice where you live like pie", and "The world in perforated lines", easily the album's highlights. Keep in mind, that is a relative statement, as the entire album is like a hologram, where the whole can be teased out of any portion, and you may find yourself loving something completely different the next time you hear it.
"June is finally here" is probably as close to a straightforward song on the album, riding alternating swaths of dissonance and beauty to a thoroughly satisfying conclusion, sounding like every summer you've ever run through, wishing it would never end.
So, in conclusion, buy this album, but only if you've heard For respect or II. Going into this album without reference might turn you off to its charms, and that would be a tragedy.
