SARANDON : AGE OF REASON

SARANDON'S AGE OF REASON (Odd Box / Slumberland)

There's tracks on this that are quite good (Big Trev especially), but most of it is just clever clever rhythms, discord chords, and flashy drum beats. There's not a lot to honestly love.
It's ruined for me personally by the spoken word links between each track, which after the first listen, just get on your nerves. In a weird kind of way, I admire Sarandon for what they do, but that said, it doesn't mean I really want to listen to them very often. There's hints of The Fall, but I like The Fall better. I guess some people will absolutely love this kind of thing, and Sarandon do what they do really well. It's just a bit not really my kind of thing. It's music for serious boys in overcoats.
