The Jesus and Mary Chain
\nGlasgow Eyes
\n<\/i>(Fuzz Club)
\n3\/5<\/p>\n

The Jesus and Mary Chain are a Scottish alternative rock band formed in 1983, gaining critical acclaim from their debut 1985 album Psychocandy<\/i>. I have mixed feelings on their new album, Glasgow Eyes<\/i>.<\/p>\n

I would describe it as \u201880s electronic pop rock with modern production. The highlights are the fun electro-pop elements in \u201cjamcod\u201d and the pleasant droning atmosphere of \u201cMediterranean X Film\u201d and \u201cPure Poor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dealbreaker, however, is \u201cThe Eagles and The Beatles.\u201d It\u2019s a worse \u201cBeverly Hills\u201d by Weezer, which is a worse \u201cI Love Rock \u2018N Roll\u201d by Joan Jett.<\/p>\n

Overall, the album reeks of a mid-life crisis. The experimental, noisy electronic elements are pretentious at worst and mildly interesting at best. I do enjoy them in \u201cVenal Joy\u201d and the intro to \u201cjamcod,\u201d but it\u2019s hit or miss.<\/p>\n

Glasgow Eyes<\/i> does have catchy songs, so if that\u2019s what you\u2019re looking for, that\u2019s great. I just wish it was more inspired and honest, less commercial and unconsciously spat out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
