This is pretty good! By which I mean that every track individually is GREAT but as yet I'm finding my attention wanders mid-album. Hoping more listens will sort that out, though.

new album is freaking great.

I always like the way their cover stars and main features are even more predictable than NME. Cough, cough.

Anyone know why it's named after the first Judas Priest album? I've always been curious.
― Matt #2, Thursday, 15 January 2009 16:52 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm glad I've lived to see the day when Zu are considered a predictable choice of cover star.

Take y'point but I still stand by mine
― Pescetarian Reich (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 15 January 2009 17:53 (fifteen years ago) link
fair enough, but given that RaR is the only newsstand mag giving any sizable attention at all to bands like zu, dalek, grails and secret chiefs (to name some recent cover stars), I could care less that they're allegedly 'predictable' choices, even if that were indisputable.

great stuff, though i wonder if theres more depth in here beyond skilled instrument playing (which is great for itself, but for me not always enough)
― Zeno, Saturday, 28 March 2009 00:22 (fifteen years ago) link
there's also rocking.

better late than never i'm hearing Carboniferous, and yes it's a beast. unlike their other stuff i've heard here they go more often ROCK than WEIRD which is a good thing for them. not to say it isn't weird and scary enough in places
― sonderangerbot, Monday, 24 August 2009 15:39 (fourteen years ago) link
The rock to skronk ratio on Carboniferous seems just right. The older stuff was tipped to the skronk side a little too much for my tastes.

Ah man that saxophone
― veneer timber (imago), Monday, 18 November 2013 19:39 (ten years ago) link
Reckon the saxophone is the most underrated and underused rock instrument
― veneer timber (imago), Monday, 18 November 2013 19:40 (ten years ago) link
some discussion of rock usage of saxophone here.
