I was going through some papers in my house the other day and I found some press clipping put out by the band announcing Dwayne's death. Because they were on American Recordings at the time, there was a couple blurbs about how offended they were at the record label for trying to capitalize of his death.
Well, it reminded me of that album, The Process, which was the only one they did for American. I remember how horrible I thought it was when it came out.
Now I thought 'let's give it another spin. Maybe my sensiblilities have changed. I still really love a lot of their other stuff and maybe I was too quick to write it off. I'll dig it up and put it on.'
Dude. What a fucking horrible album. Embarrasing. I know there was much turmoil working on the album even before Dwayne's death with them switching producers and studios and the band ultimately breaking up and then Dwayne died and they still had to finish the album for release.
Still, even those aren't good enough excuses for putting out that piece of shit (minus the only decent song on there- Blue Serge I think it is). All those heavy metal guitars. Totally misdirected. None of the melodic stuff works for me, and the noisy electronic stuff is just a shadow of what they once were.
And since I'm such a sucker, I can't wait to hear the new SP stuff (if it ever fucking comes out). The new Ohgr is better than his first solo release, although it has this shiny sparkly sheen which makes it sound like it's on a major label. Haven't heard that new Cevin Key thing.
Give me Too Dark Park or Last Rights any day. Brian.
