The Black Angels - Phosphene Dream

When I first read about The Black Angels releasing a new album in September 2010 I thought "WOW! FINALLY! YES!" but after have litsened to the album "Phosphene Dream" I must say that I am a bit dissapointed.

       Sure they still sound like The Black Angels and have that sound of guitars vibrating in your brain for a day or two but they've gone from a band who you can tell are inspired by the 60's music to a band who tries to be a band from the 60's. They have dropped the heavy, dark and mysterious sound and gone for a more happy, flower power and bright sound. And I don't like it.

I mean, sure the songs are still good but they are not anywhere near the songs from their last album "Directions To See A Ghost".
       The album starts with the song "Bad Vibrations" and when you hear it you feel euforic and satisfied because you think that they've kept their sound from previous albums, although it's a bit different, in a good way though. After this song the whole album just leaps out into new directions not knowing exactly if it's going to copy the sound of The 13'th Floor Elevators, The Doors, The Rolling Stones or maby even something new like The Mooney Suzuki. It's just wrong... Sure I will litsen to the album, but I probably won't be litsening to the whole album.
       And on top of all this they(or probably their record company) have made a shitty deal with Spotify so if you don't have Spotify Premium, you can only litsen to five songs from the album. Anyway here's a link to the free Phosphene Dream on Spotify.
