The Fire Show - Saint the Fire Show

Still working my way through this extremely dense and complex album. The band has less of a focus on melody than on structure, and it's fascinating to inspect the structures within songs, and within phrases. Because of this experimentation, the brief flashes of accessbility that occasionally glide by are stunning. But just as the album seems to become more and more friendly, something dissonant or strange is thrown in, and it works to keep your attention.

I'll give it 8.8 out of 10 right now, though because I'm still learning the album, that will very likely change one way or other as the weeks go by.

My next purchase will probably be The Walkmen - Bows & Arrows, who are a much more accessible band than The Fire Show. This new album is supposed to be very good.
