Advantages: Melodic, intelligent album from a truly great indie band Disadvantages: A few abrasive tracks and some overly introspective ones
...another visual pun, is red flock wallpaper with silhouettes of people interspersed. It's a striking, arresting cover art theme that is replicated in both red and blue throughout the album. Maybe it's really just all about suburban domesticity after all ;-)
Reacharound
The melodic opening chords of "Reacharound" lull you into a false sense of security before Bell X-1 rip into open the first track. This song is one of the most driven and heaviest ... ...and moments of melodic power. Flock is an authentic, essential album which appears to me like a band poised on the threshold of greatness. Bell X1, now without Crosby, will release their fourth studio album "Blue Lights On The Runway" in 2009. This is a band that seem to be coming to the height of their creative power. It may be a cliché, but it's true: Bell X-1 are surely now cleared for take-off. (c) Paul/Westocean 2008. Posted earlier to dooyoo ...
