Flotsam and Jetsam - My God
Well, I’m sick today - I have the flu - so if this review (or any other I write under the influence of NyQuil) sucks or makes no sense, that could be why. Hey, I can’t just skip a day! I’ve got a job to do here, and Metal Curse isn’t one of those fag zines that only has a handful of reviews each issue. Anyway, for as much as I respect the efforts of F&J, this is just not an album that I like all that much. “But you like their other shit, right?” Yeah, I do. Most of it anyway. But something about this just doesn’t do it for me. The repetition in the lyrics isn’t helping, and neither are the occasional weird riffs. I have long since grown used to Eric A.K.’s vocals (except when they’re a little overdriven, such as at the beginning of the somewhat Industrial-sounding “Camera Eye”), so that’s not it. This isn’t the first time that things have not 100% come together for these guys, though, so I have faith (no pun intended) that they can fix things and come back with a great album next time. But that’s all we get for now: hope that the next one will be better.
