Zebulon Pike
Warning: Rant!
Words cannot describe how tedious every song on this CD is.
How this CD came into my possession, dunno, but I must have burnt it to MP3 and got rid of it. All I have are five files on my External HD.
It is like bad Rush cover band meets bad Led Zeppelin cover band and leaves out a vocalist that might otherwise make this tolerable.
Except I think the musicians are competent, just engaged in an exercise in masturbatory self-indulgence that is boring at three minutes and excruciating at eleven.
I have never listened to the album in full, because, yee gawds, who could?
I can usually find something positive to say about most music even if it isn't really my thing. Not here. (Well, I did say I thought the musicians were competent. So...I guess?)
Can't find anything about this band on Wikipedia, they don't seem to have any kind of web presence besides the songs on YouTube. Guess they smartened up and were embarrassed by this mess.
Well, it is a Z, and a legitimate one.
Rant Over
Edit: How the hell did I forget XTC? Yikes. Can you get Alzheimer's in your 50s? Oh, and the Zebulon Pike album name is even pretentious: Space is the Corpse of Time.
