I Don’t Wanna Come Back Down From This Cloud!

It’s really amazing how much most of the new Folk Implosion album sounds like Bush’s Sixteen Stone, to the point that as a listener, I kept expecting for Lou Barlow to start belting out Bush choruses. Honestly, a song like “Fuse” would actually be a lot better if he did start singing the “Come Down” chorus in the middle, it would at least break up the tedium a bit. I wonder if their label is planning on ‘working’ any of this record for Clearchannel radio, I can definitely imagine the sort of people who dig Tool and System Of A Down getting into songs like “Brand Of Skin” and “Creature Of Salt”. I can’t say that I’m really into this record – it’s as good as this sort of thing gets, I suppose; but it is still pretty dull, second-rate 95-vintage post-grunge.
