Un son, très beau, très propre, très bien enregistré ! La musique est belle, elle aussi, mieux, elle est énergique ! Elle est très agréable à écouter ! L'instrumentation utilisée peut parfois se révéler originale. La voix est belle même si elle peut nous lasser sur la duréee
Bon travail
Maybe it's too critical of me to say that Too Many I's is a bad band, or an unappealing band, or whatever... These guys can play pretty decently, and they have precision and timing pretty well balanced. Also, the recording quality is clean so if you like your punk rock to linger like crisp lemony freshness in a sterile kitchen then there you go.
My biggest complaint comes from the fact that the attention to melody and speed puts this more in the realm of pop-punk or modern era 'screamo' than punk, metal, or noise rock which is what this attests to be. It is increasingly frustrating finding bands that consider themselves to be something they aren't. Your influences, tastes, and prospects have no bearing on what you are... the only thing that puts you in the neat little box we call a genre is how you sound, and this sounds to me like any random teenage "rock" band pulled out of a hat and spruced up by a fancy haircut and a self conscious frown.
As I listen to this, I wonder what influences these gentlemen? I don't hear noise outside of the atypical effect of an overdriven guitar and a certain raspy effect due to somewhat strained vocals, I do not hear metal influences outside of the very very standard guitar arpeggios, I do not recognize punk outside of the speed.
Too Many I's may have the playing ability, recording access, and syncopation to be a successful moving unit for their tenure, but like so many 'punk' bands I can't see them rising above the overall simplicity of the contemporary pop-punk genre.
Du très bon son, très cool à écouter (^_^, musicalement agréable... seul reproche la voix finie par saouler sur le premier et le dernier morceau, mais c'est un avis personnel.
Très propre ! Contrairement à la critique précédente je dirai qu'au contraire la voix fait un peu le charme de tout ça
