BRMC - The Effects of 333

[Frank The Bunny]

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club self-released an album of ambient/instrumental tracks on November 1 called "The Effects of 333". No audio samples were available, so I took the plunge. I don't get it.

Ambient/trance/instrumental is on my list of stuff to avoid. Just below any "jazz fusion" crap

It hurts my ears - almost as much as the lighting at last night's Chris Cornell / Timbaland trainwreck hurt my eyes. [edited: thanks for pointing out my flaws, BF]

the lighting hurt your ears?

When are we gonna see some poetry Frank?


So where can we hear this 333? Is that thedevil's little bother?

I'd post some poetry, but I can barely see through my tears.

And... I'd post samples of the 333 tracks, if I could find the hook...
Just imagine a 56k modem - after dialing, but before "you've got mail".

It's kind of hard to give you a good idea of how bad this stuff is, without your being able to hear even a taste of it. I believe it's within fair use regulations for me to create and distribute 30-second samples of the tracks, since I've already purchased this web-only album (six bucks from http://www.blackrebelmotorcycleclub.com ).

So, you can download track samples here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WSW2S50X

I've gotta say - I hate when good rock bands go all experimental [see Radiohead]. What the fuck are they thinking?

They start to believe their own press about their "genius"

Two clips were enough.

Rushed to their website and bought it, hmm?

I don't think this is a 'new direction' for BRMC. I think it's something they've been noodling with when high (Peter was in Brian Jonestown Massacre), and they just decided to put it out there.

I won't be surprised at all if their next "real" album is another rocker.

I certainly hope this isn't a new direction for them.

i really enjoyed baby 81, and hope to hear more like that... this is just weird

Or maybe it is their way of carrying on without Nick Jago.

I hardly think Nick Jago was the driving force behind BRMC. Were that the case, they would've thrown in the towel, called it quits and not toured without him.

It was a joke you fucking doosh.
