Free Music Notes for Fabulous Muscles
Free Music Review: Whoops, I listened to reviews.
Hit: 2 Stars
Let me first say I'm not one to bash experimental music. In fact, I generally really enjoy the doors it opens up and the ideas people are willing to try. I had heard great things about this artist and this CD in particular and figured I might as well just buy it before giving it a listen, afterall, I found it used and fairly cheap. To my disappointment, this album is lacking something. I cannot say it's awful or with some other element it may have been a stellar album, but it is lacking in one way or another; whether its the lyrics, the dead space, or the too far out lyrics, I'm not sure. The first few tracks show the most potential but then it slowly dives off the deep end into the realm of too strange for me.
I found this to be, like I'm surprised more people don't, what someone else named a "pretentious noise" album. Weird for just the sake of being weird and not much else. My recommendation: give this a listen if you're new to his music and don't judge solely on reviews. Never do.
Fabulous Muscles Poster
The central theme of this CD is about negative dominance politically, sexually, and emotionally, despite the space of a new, hopeful relationship. Musically, there's less of a dance influence and more of a pop and academic/experimental influence. It's Xiu Xiu's most experimental record, yet it's their most delicate and accessible.Alternative Rock Music CDs
