Edgewater – We’re Not
Robots (CD)
Sound: B-
Music: C-
If you wonder why the Rock Genre has collapsed, you need
listen no further than We’re Not Robots, a lame, bizarre, unexciting,
tired, flat, pointless 2006 album by Edgewater that does not know what it is
trying to say or do. They may be saying
things they understand, but here they are doing a rock album and they have a
song called Rock Is Dead, which fails to make any big statement or
sense.
Trapped between clichés and formulas, this ultimately plays
like Blue Man Group for idiots and anything about being human or deep falls
flat in forgettable tune after forgettable tune. If I went through the titles, I could come up with more and more
insults. I think I’ll quit before I
really trash this disaster, but you should skip it.
The PCM 2.0 16bit/44.1kHz Stereo is rough, limited and not
so well mixed. They may not think they
are robots, but the harmonic distortion unintentionally gives them that bad
1950s Sci-Fi robot vocal chic. Geez is
this a dud!
