"Atlas"

I’m going to lose some of you with this one. “Atlas” is weird, there’s no denying it. It sounds like a stadium jock-jam, or possibly a Disney parade gone all wrong. The drums are heavy on the downbeat and the vocals heavy on helium. It’s a seven minute romp full of rolling toms and short, repetitive guitar licks. It’s would be a kick ass soundtrack for some choreographed metal machine dance. Imagine it: pistons pumping up and down, a conveyer belt moving in stop-motion ultimately manufacturing some evil toy no kid in their right mind would ever want to play with. Alas, this dance is for grown-ups only. Although it may not be for everybody, it’s a surefire winner for those with an appetite for music with an experimental edge. It’s bound to rock somebody’s boat.
