It's only 2 pm and it's already been one heck of a day. This morning, my fellow swedes won the Group Of Death in the World Cup - a pleasant surprise indeed. Only minutes later I received mail from a couple of schools I had applied to. I've been waiting for this for months, but to my great disappointment and - again - surprise I was not accepted into any of them. But, there was something else in the mail, too...
I've just had a first listen to Tr3s Lunas. It did not surprise the least, the music was exactly like I had pictured it - extended versions of the online soundclips. Basically the same mood and ideas throughout the album. The guitar playing is nice and there's quite a lot of it but the melodies are almost ridiculously simple at times (with the possible exception of the sax guitar, which is a really nice touch). There's nothing really new or fresh here, it's too predictable, too simple, too much of the same thing. But still...ehm..
..I kind of like it. It's nice. Not anywhere near the millenium bell or TB3 and certainly not TSODE in my opinion, but it has a certain feel and atmosphere that appeals to me. I will listen more to it, who knows, it might grow on me.
Just one more thing, how come Mike insists on having those synthpads backing every single song? It certainly adds to the feeling of repetitiveness.
