5.0 out of 5 stars a step next to slint, January 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Frames Per Second (Audio CD)

These songs cannot be gained with only a brief glimpse. The power/complexity and beauty of these instrumentals are amazing. A few tracks are present with ambigous vocals yet the stars are found throughout the surging and ebbing of the instruments. Its been awhile since slint been gone, these guys from are their faint and newborn memories.

This review is from: Frames Per Second (Audio CD)

This is not a shallow album. Paul Newman is compelling because of their ability to layer sound. In a sense, buying Frames Per Second is like buying more than one album because each song listens differently each time. It is beautifully easy to get lost in its variety of parts. Although all the tracks are solid, the best is probably "Astroglide" because of the way it just smacks you in the head with bizarre guitar sound. If you are at all a purveyor of the blistering type of instrumental rock, this is a good one for the collection. Or if you just like sound.
