The strength of this CD
is its introspective bluster.
The lyrics are
darker and more introverted than on earlier releases. How many bands have
reinvented themselves as successfully as circle of willis? The masters of
bluesy bravado are back. The same obsessions -- World War II and mental illness
-- are here in spades.
"Nerdlinger
#137" won't win any Grammies this year. A Bar Mitzvah-like smorgasboard of
sounds is offered up here, from the hushed "Testament of a High-handed
Byzantine" to the Springsteenian pop sensibility of "Get It Up
Ya."
On its latest
excursion into neo-obscurity, circle of willis demonstrates an affinity for
muscular guitar work. I don't know about you, but I just can't get enough of
Brian Eno.
