BRAIN: my review of Denial of Death -- will by BrainTrust stature be revoked?

[Carl Edlund Anderson]

I know what you mean -- whereas previous tBS albums often verged on
stylistic kitchen sink, this album *is* more focused, inevitably meaning
that there is not necessarily something for everyone.

On the other hand, the stylistic focus on DoD does sort of mark out
territory in the way no other tBS album did -- thus, no doubt, the
subtle adoption of the "tBS NYC" appellation.  Things are different
here.  And though tBS's choice to buckle down and rock on DoD inevitably
narrows things down. I do think it's a choice that plays to the band's
strengths: Al, Ross, and Co. can put down some crunch and shred with the
best of them, and do so here.  From this base camp, whither the next
ascent?  Well, I guess this is all part of the trip :)

Cheers,
Carl
