FUCKWITHABLE ALBUM OF THE DAY
how can a band really fuck up a studio album? concept album. cast iron filter's fourth foray into the studios produced one of the worst overly produced albums since jefferson starship's "winds of change," which has one of the most ironic closing tracks, "quit wasting time." anyway, cast iron filter does shame to their previous solid entries (paradise in palestine, further down the line, this ugly town, and thier live album live from the highway) with the quadruple bogey falls of rough. the concept of this album appears to be that this town, the falls of rough, has its own history and is itself a living entity. unfortuneately, the tracks are so entirely disparate that there is no story or even a metastory present. the concept crashes into a pile of cold, damp ashes. furthermore, this album is so flat it would look silly in a training bra. there is absolutely no texture. the band sounded like studio musicians and the only thing missing from the production was a synthesized hand clap. which may actually be an improvement, since on the last live album they tucked in a studio tracked named louisville, ky, which actually did use the handclap. if i knew how to delete one track from a cd without harming the others . . . that live cd would be idea. for the falls of rough though . . . every track needs to be deleted. what is sad though is if you listen to 27 dollars and a wedding ring on the live album and then the studio version on falls of rough . . . you notice 2 things. 1) this band is a studio band, and 2) mason bissett was too good a bass player for him to have been removed from the lineup.
