Murder by Death sucks.

The new CD is actually very good. I thought it was going to suck, since I was unimpressed by the demos.

A person doesn't need to be wordy to elaborate on something, chief. And I'm referring only to the actual album where they went under the moniker of Murder by Death. I haven't heard the other album when they were called something else. Monotonous and boring pretty much covers that particular album. But...

They're trying to be original, and it's not quite working. Like I said, the singer sounds like he's trying to be Nick Cave, and perhaps since the album is a "concept album" based around one story, they felt that most of the songs needed to sound the same. The same tempo, the same drony vocals, the same quasi-creepy musical arrangements. Maybe mixing it up with some of the other songs prior to the name and style change makes for a better listening experience, I don't know. I just think that album drones on for 50 minutes with no real musical climax in any of the songs, except maybe the first one. It was really the only one I could listen to repeatedly.
