Tin Scribble
Unlive from a Dead City
Review by Gary Hill
The hard-edged modern progressive rock that makes up the music here shares some territory with Tool, but is more proggy and often quite melodic. It is certainly dark, though. The vocals come in somewhere between Jello Biafra and operatic – and they are the one aspect of the disc that’s a bit hard to take. Still, they lend a very unique sound to the set and do grow on you with repeated listenings.
