Tiny Masters Of Today – Skeletons
This album would be totally boring if it weren’t for the blatant obnoxiousness of it. That’s the most positive thing that can be said. It has absolutely nothing to offer but cliché chord changes and melodies that, for most songs, just repeat for 3 eternal minutes. Each song is like a strange little kid flicking your forehead over and over again. It’s annoying and eventually it’s painful. Zero effort was put into song-writing and instead was used to saturate the songs with tons of vocal effects and busy, mediocre pop production. To me, there is nothing clever, fresh, or remotely appealing about a single song.
That being said, they are just kids. A 15 year old brother, and 13 year old sister. And it sounds like it was made by kids. It’s only somewhat impressive when considering their age. The album itself doesn’t stand on its own, though. It sounds cut and pasted and lacks any depth whatsoever. I know, how much depth can an album made by kids have? Hopefully they evolve fast and leave this way behind.
"It sounds cut and pasted and lacks any depth whatsoever."
sort of like your review. psst it's spelled their not there.
I agree with this review, but I still hang onto the facebook fan page in the hopes that they evolve a little.
Stop picking on the reviewer, everyone. It's not helping his argument that the band sounds like children. :b
The album sounds like a child? Well considering both members are, yep, you guessed it – children – I'm not entirely surprised. I cuold write a review of your terrible review but I'll refrain.
This band really pushes peoples buttons probably because they are so young. To me they embody the original spirit of punk with a refreshing amateurism and disdain for the star machine. It is bratty and snotty and sometimes totally moronic but they, at least, have an excuse. Their arrangements are fresh and defy convention, it is certainly reminiscent of early Wire and Sonic Youth and other good stuff but it lacks the calculation. This should be celebrated for being a kick in the pants not nitpicked
