Cymbals Eat Guitars - Lenses Alien album flac

Cymbals Eat Guitars have followed Why There Are Mountains, their self-released debut of 1990s indie rock alchemy, with a difficult and likely divisive sophomore LP. Which isn't all that surprising- these things happen when the "next step" involves signing to a label, hiring a venerated producer (John Agnello, who also worked this year with alt-revivalists Male Bonding), turning over half of your personnel, and releasing an 8 1/2-minute song as the "first single. It's become something of a cliché to praise an "album in the mp3 age," and while Lenses Alien certainly isn't intended to be strip-mined for singles, it's meant to be experienced on a remarkably micro level. It's actually more ambitious than the already grand Mountains, but it doesn't manifest in Byzantine song structure or far-flung sonic touches.

It probably just sounds like I’m especially bitter about a band not living up to their first effort, that I set the expectations too high and formed an attachment to the debut that any follow-up likely could not contend with.

Consequence of Sound. Cymbals Eat Guitars have succeeded in creating one of the year’s most surprisingly transcendental sophomore albums.

Don't want to fanboy it up (though it's nearly impossible because I love these guys so much) but it also makes me harder on them. The sophomore slump is created by the fans, not the band; its expectations not being met, not usually an outright bad album being written by the artist. whacks toaster with a rock
