Gliss “Devotion Implosion”

It’s another mid-1990s fuzzy guitar occasionally female-fronted last-name-Deal knockoff. That’s fine. I always want more pseudo-Amps music. “29 Acts of Love” is as good a song as any, I suppose. Stay away from the longer tracks, though. A lot of these songs run a bit more than they should.

“Sleep” is an example of this, clocking in at 5:09, but the melody makes it worth it. Still, the tempo could be increased a bit without taking anything away from the song, and we’d all be better off. “Sad Eyes” sounds like Suffrajett. It has some hootin’ and hollerin’, but otherwise it’s still a bit tired.

“Love Songs” has smoother guitar and reminds me of Catherine Wheel. It’s understandable considering how the rest of the album sounds. All this album does is remind me of how depressing the music was when I came of age. That’s not exactly the best selling point.

Pass.
