Lansing-Dreiden-The Incomplete Triangle:Album Of The Year?

Similarly, you use the adjective "lifeless" to describe their songs, which I find convenient given some of the stylistic attributes of the music (i.e., New Wave as cold, robotic, etc.). Again, though, the description is meant as a criticism of the QUALITY of the music, and unless you are criticizing the New Wave/New Wave Revivalism aesthetic of coldness/roboticism/etc. in general (i.e., Nick Heyward's vocals sucked because they were too LIFELESS), I'm not sure why the criticism is particularly relevant to Lansing-Dreiden.

This is the entirety of your critique in that review apart from an accusation of "grotesque orchestrations," of which you do not cite an example.

what to do

Just a quick reminder about our show at Hiro Ballroom tonight...

Also wanted to mention that we'll have copies of our new CD 'D.I. by
D.D.' available at the show.

Hope you all can make it!

And I only know the Beta Band's 3 eps release, but I can't say I see the similarities.

honestly, after listening to both albums tonight, they sound even stranger and more out of time than when they came out. I mean, they always existed in their own geodesic dome of a universe, but now that the bad taste of bad 80's pastiche has almost completely left my mouth, I hear both records in , um, the context of no context. i mean, they are just CDs that have been sitting around forever and that I haven't listened to in ages. and they are even further removed from something that they really had nothing to do with at the time. that 80's thing that was mostly dud in my book. the last 80's thing. not the one before that. having said that, i'm looking forward to the solo album by the guitarist from the faint. digi-metal. and signed to relapse! where is colin the mole, anyhow?

i take it back. i just listen to dude's myspace. the faint dude's myspace. it's horrible.

the faint is the worst band

and is relapse just reissuing an old album of his? oh whatever.

i saw the faint in philly way back when and the only time they roused me from my stupor was when they played enola gay. they did a nice version.

the faint had one ok song (not the one about strippers) but that one album of theirs i have is wretched

I was just thinking about Lansing-Dreiden. I still love them.

they got the synths right. but they had no songs. i was more of a reggie & the full effect fan. as far as emo-identified 80's goofs go. and i even liked reggie's metal songs! dwarf invasion!

i am wearing a Lansing-Dreiden shirt

sweet

ok the new free ep available for free on the site is THE SHIT

;)

LISTENING NOW

thanks for the heads up!

of course i can't help but want the song "tri" to keep going for another five minutes.

Thanks for the head zup.

Ultimately, The Incomplete Triangle is exactly what Lansing-Dreiden claim it is: Art. But I have to tell you, I don't spend a lot of time listening to Art. I listen to Music

(Dying here)

Grabbing new EP now!

psyched for this, thanks
