The Shining Path - The Shining Path
The Shining Path from The United States were again unknown to me, but it needs to be reviewed. Their album is self titled and that’s the only thing I know about it. It is really not appropriate music to listen to, stoned, drunk, sober…. I have heard this record in every possible state of mind and I still don’t get it. I suppose it’s some noisy retro-punk, totally psychedelic.
This could be interpreted as positive, but for me it really isn’t. The music is a weird noise with too many spaced out effects, but the timing is completely wrong. I like Sunn O))) and I can even listen to The Locust, but this is shit, and I am really calling it shit like in shit that is not cool. I don’t care how many musicians are in this band and what freaked instrument they play. This is really too much for me.
I have this album in my possession for about 3 months now, and the reason why I waited so long with this review is simply because I can’t compel myself to listen to it. I have done so now, 4 times actually, and as I said before, in every state of mind… I can’t do anything with this album. Perhaps it has been an awful shitload of work to complete or create this, but that does not alter the fact I do not like it. Period.
