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)

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

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

Reckon the saxophone is the most underrated and underused rock instrument
