Oh, A Place to Bury Strangers, I want to love you, but you keepbreaking my heart. When you gave a leaden performance last fall, I gaveyou the benefit of the doubt and chalked it up to the venue. I'd neverbeen to the Middle East Upstairs before, so I assumed the room'sacoustics were dead. By all appearances, and by the sound of Exploding Head,you were doing everything right. But after seeing you a second time ata different club, one that I know has favorable acoustics, I'm forcedto admit that it's your fault.
But let's get specific. I stand by my positivereview of Exploding Head.JSpace and Jono MOFO formed a solid rhythm section at the Paradise onSaturday. However, guitarist Oliver Ackermann missed the point ondistortion. It should be an accent, not a raison d'etre. The band hasrecorded distinctive, distinguishable songs, but when the distortion isso overdone, you can no longer tell what is being distorted. It's alljust noise. So, Oliver, stop giving the tremolo bar a hand job. Letsome semblance of the melody emerge before fucking around with it.Maybe I'll give you another chance and the band can finally live up tothe promise of itsrecordings.
