Anybody checked out Love Tyger yet? I'm quite impressed! Catchy, melodic, fun and Tobi's voice sounds good!
Given this 3 spins now and I'm quite disappointed with it. The background stories in the book about the songs are far more interesting than the songs themselves. Aside from 'Love Tyger' and 'The Eternal Wayfarer', the songs just feel very laboured and mostly boring. 'Sabre & Torch' is still awful. Tobi's voice doesn't sound too good in my view and in fact I'd say his voice sounds best on the bonus track 'Aychim in Hysteria'.
At least the song 'England' is a good laugh.
Interesting POV korruption, and one I myself had for years, ever since The Scarecrow up until Space Police. I'm not sure what it is about this album that makes it work for me - I can identify the nasally whining and shouting everywhere, but somehow it just clicks with me. The music under his voice just seems to... fit. I think he does a lovely job on Alone In Myself, as quirky a tune as it is. And it has a snarling aggression in The Realms of Baba Yaga that makes me want to floor it when I'm driving. Funny how tastes differ, eh?
