Brainbloodvolume (CD)
Ned's Atomic Dustbin
Amoeba Review
Joanna Ricco 05/26/2010
The last album for Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, 1995’s Brainbloodvolume is by far the chanciest the band got with genre bending and swapping. While they hold their own in moving off their punk/thrash beginnings, it begins to flirt with the disastrous adage: When you try to be about everything, you end up being about nothing. “Floote” is a song with too many ideas going on at once—is that a sitar, for God’s sake?—and it ends up losing something because of it. “Stuck” is a more pared-down and dreamy (but definitively urgent) song that has all its bearings. It’s still an interesting album, as it should be when an English band starts throwing sounds up against the wall to see what sticks.
