Album Review
After a glitchy opening track, "Ambassadors of All That Is Good," that makes Drugs to the Dear Youth sound at first like some form of ambient turntablism exercise, the second album by Tera Melos turns into a fairly standard take on the more aggressive side of instrumental post-rock experimentalism. Jagged spurts of alternately fuzz-toned and crystalline guitar, willfully odd time-signature changes, and a drummer playing like Billy Cobham on a dozen espressos occasionally makes Drugs to the Dear Youth a bit of a trial for all but the devoted fans of the style. But except for the eight-minute epic "40 Roads to the Hog's Head," the central California four-piece wisely keep their experimental excursions concise enough to set and briefly explore a particular guitar sound or fractured groove before setting off on an entirely different path. Strictly for the math rock enthusiast, but anyone who thinks Don Caballero and Cap'n Jazz are the best bands they'll ever will find much to enjoy here.
Customer Reviews
Well done
A great math rock album that incorporates and defines what it's all about
Fantastic album
Great album, this album opened my ears to a whole new type of music. Great for a long car ride....
yea its good
I am not really sure why this and the untitled album havent gotten much attention. Listening to the album all the way through you are gona come out thinking i know i liked it but im not sure what happened, but after a closer analysis you really start to see the brilliance. The amount of creativity, originality, and complexity they pack into one song keeps one entertained for hours. Drugs To The Dear Youth is a new sound of its own that you really cant describe. With the spastic almost undecided drums and guitar and somewhat jazz centered bass; tera melos frequently changes from chill and relaxing to chaotic and abstract. over all theres nothing bad to say just check it out for yourself ITS ONLY $5.94!!!!!!!!!!!!
