Free Music Notes for Another Sound Is DyingFree Music Review: new heavier Hit: 5 Starsthis album is great. it seems as if they have somehow gotten better (yet they were already really good) or they are still evolving. following their career is sure to be very rewarding.
in relation to 'new heavy' and the subsequent live album (still need to get their first cd), this seems more "heavy" than "dub" music, but still a good amount of both. the production is perfect. in your car, it'll seem like the drums are under your hood.
i would've bought this even if there wasn't a mike patton track on it, which incidentally is very good. i bought this and their other albums for the groove and the heavy aspects. most of all i got into them after seeing them live. they pull it off, every note, blip, and effect amazingly.
if you want more dub check out their earlier work, but i definitely like this album the best.
see them live. if you like their stuff but are on the fence - you'll love the show.
Free Music Review: Instrumental metal dubbed out? I like it! Hit: 5 StarsSounds like old Dub Trio, but heavier? Well, the track Mortar Dub sounds more like the Dub Trio of the past, but I don't think it is this band's intention to rehash their old sound on this album. On Another Sound is Dying monster rock riffs meld into delayed dub experimentation and hints of Meshuggah's time shifting overlapping grooves (especially on tracks 14 and 9, the later featuring Mike Patton's guttural vocal styling).There is definitely humor in Dub Trio's interpretation of metal as intense double bass drum and distorted guitar attacks turn to sparse down tempo drum and bass passages with ambient guitar experimentations. A flanged tape delayed timbale. Is that a guitar or not? Sub bass growls. Electronic manipulation of all instruments. There is a surprise on every track. For those who like the past Dub Trio's heavier records like Cool Out and Coexist, you will love this record. For those who thought that dubbed out instrumental hard rock was an impossibility, do check out this album, be amazed of the sound a guitar a bass and drum set can make, and support on the best underground (but hopefully not for long) band out there.
