WISH
\nWISH
\n<\/i>(Hand Drawn Dracula)
\n2\/5<\/p>\n

After a couple of mugs of coffee I sat down to listen to WISH\u2019s self-titled and self-described \u201calternative\/psychedelic\u201d album. I quickly became irritated by the excessively grungy sound of feedback from heavily distorted guitars going off on unending solo jam sprees.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the coffee had made me overly sensitive that morning, but the album was certainly not music to my ears and, upon first play, a creeping headache forced me to skip to the second half of the album, which at that time seemed more tolerable.<\/p>\n

I realize, however, that psychedelic music is meant to enhance the experience of psychedelic drugs, so I was certainly doing WISH a disservice by critiquing their new album in a (relatively) sober state of mind. I would recommend anyone who has recently ingested LSD have a listen to this album and pass their personal judgements, but I would personally prefer to stick to the old-school psychedelic sounds of The Beatles or Jimi Hendrix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
