Deranged, confusing second album from Seattle hardcore rockers, These Arms are Snakes
Review
These Arms are Snakes are weird, really really weird, but in a kind of good way. Their music is "out there" enough to be potentially exciting, if a little odd.
'Easter' is an accomplished album, full of the workings of a fantastic band albeit one with a deranged mind.
I find it hard to draw comparisons other than with bands that sound nothing like These Arms are Snakes but which hold the same values... Since by Man seems to strike a chord but at the same time it's nowhere near.
I find it difficult listening to this album as well from beginning to end, as despite its little intricacies and some enjoyable moments, I find myself becoming bored. There are no real shining moments that have sprung to my attention but by no means does this make it poor ! Perhaps just a little misunderstood!
Utterly confusing !
