Free Music Review: We Are The Army You See Through The Red Haze Of Blood...
Hit: 5 Stars
They Were Wrong, So We Drowned has already garnered decidely mixed reactions, with two of the biggest mainstream music publications (Spin and Rolling Stone) trashing the album rather harshly while other zines and sites have given the album much praise. This might be an album you either love or hate, but for all the hoopla, They Were Wrong is not as terribly inaccessible as Spin or RS would have you believe. Yes, it doesn't sound much like the band's excellent debut They Threw Us In A Trench record, but it's still unmistakeably the Liars and displays the same uncompromised creativity the band is known for. I mean, really, if "Pillars Were Hollow And Filled With Candy" from the Fins That Make Us More Fish-Like EP didn't tip you off that the next Liars record would be different, then maybe you weren't paying enough attention. Whether or not the bad mainstream press is reflective of a sad state of music criticism, I will admit that the new Liars record is pretentious, not entirely accessible, but it's also brilliant. Seriously, what other band is moving forward like this? A few tracks actually do hint at the Liars of old, including the synth infused "They Don't Want Your Corn..." and the noisy post-punk anarchy of "Hold Hands..." and "Broken Witch" has something resembling sing-along hook. But, the dark disorder of "There's Always Room..." and "If You're A Wizard..." reflect the overall eerie undercurrent of the record. I mean, the record is about the witch hunts from years ago, something that the Liars own brand of dance-punk from a few years ago wouldn't really fit. In the end, you might hate this record, but you shouldn't dismiss it after one spin. It's definitely not one of those record you'll necessarily understand upon first listen. So whether or not you want the old Liars back is up to you. But for all the nonsense about this new inaccesible direction, let me just say that Liars were never an ordinary "dance-punk" band (just look at the last track on They Threw Us In A Trench...), and the fact that they were pigeonholed as such was rather bizarre. if you're a fan of post-punk with avant-garde touches, this should be your bag.
