Obviously 8 Drops of Silver...The Secret Machines New Album "10 Drops of Silver"
this new album rocks. i loved 80% of the last album (not the EP though) minus the slow songs (but those were good for mellower times). i expected as much. but only 8 songs (with a title "10 drops of silver"?). I read the reviews. mixed. but everything they had on the last album is there. a badass trio. bass, drums, guitar/keys, and a voice. that's all there along with the good songs. people r misinformed about this albums intensity. the intensity is there but this album doesn't have the production distortion or grit from the last album. but i don't care. the songs r just as good but they did ALL of them cleaner (recording-wise). it's tough as a psychedelic band to come out the same day as the flaming lips. very hard. buy that album before this one (at war with the mystics) BUT also buy this one if you liked their last full album. I thought their last album was one of the best debuts in the last 20 years. tough to follow it up. but they did it. this album is goooood!! u will like it. just give it a minute and forget about the fuzz it lacks. all they needed to do was add fuzz to the bass if u think something is missing. but listen to the bass...it doesn't need fuzz. and he's the one singing, baby! 4 out of 5 stars
