A Place To Bury Strangers = The Jesus And Mary Chain + Screen Vinyl Image
Talk about a pedal-pushing, pulsating-power punch! A Place To Bury Strangers’ newest endeavor throbs with deep low end noise that will be a pleasure to your ears, especially if you like that gothic sound of old. The song “Deeper” sounds a lot like the heavier side of King Dude while the remainder of the album reminds me of The Jesus and Mary Chain. Their last record, Worship, was a little more to my liking and had catchier songs, but this album is still really great. If I go into the other room while it is playing loud, it makes me think someone is trying to knock my front door down. –Mort Kilgore
