Free Music Notes for The Great Filter
Free Music Review: "We're not even trying any more"
Hit: 2 Stars
Scientifically, the Great Filter is the same thing as the Fermi Paradox. And until now, I thought that Fermi Paradox was Tub Ring's worst album. But even Fermi Paradox has at least five songs that I really enjoy. The Great Filter just reminds me of the Tub Ring song "All the Rules Have Changed," to which the lyrics go "we're not trying/we're not even trying any more."
The Great Filter completely lacks the classic Tub Ring energy. There are no moments in the album that make you go, "Whoa, that was cool, what was that?" It's just plain. There are a lot of predictable, repeating choruses, to which the lyrics aren't even close to interesting. You'll get quite comfortable in the standard chord progressions and time signatures.
There was a sticker on the album that said "For Fans of Mr. Bungle," and some other bands. Tub Ring has always gotten guff for being a sort of new-generation Mr. Bungle, but before The Great Filter, at least they pulled it off by writing crazy, neat songs. If you like Tub Ring and want to continue to respect them, don't buy this. If you don't know about Tub Ring yet, buy Drake Equation or Zoo Hypothesis, and you'll see why they (were) one of my favorite current bands.
