Recipe for modern R'n'B album: liberal helpings of guest rappers and an overdose of sexual euphemisms.
The Mars Volta know a lot about psychedelic prog-rock. With their newest album released today and this new single featured it's hard to doubt their talent. The latest from the duo is a crisp, fast track that features the normal Spanish influenced trumpets and saxophone with Cedric's' voice as high as ever. The short track, under 3 minutes, is obviously edited to be released as a single, but either way I can't wait to here the rest of it.
After there last catchy pop-esque single, One Night Only returns with a single that creates a very different tone. With a more of a longing rock ballad and minor based harmonies, this track avoids self-loathing and creates a reflective track that uses their unique synthesized sound and brings it into the mainstream nicely. Start to finish, this ballad speaks very well for the up and coming local act as they hope to climb their way through the charts.
If Interpol, the New York shoegaze masters, and The Strokes made a single that was them trying way to hard, then this would be it. The mellow dramatic, unoriginal, and poorly timed off-beat hitches do nothing but create a track that sounds out of tune the entire way through. This 3 minutes and 52 seconds is so bland and repetitive that at times I just wanted it be over so I could have more fun criticizing this poor attempt at a cross breeding between indie and the retro-rock revival.
