Nineteen Five, a female lead band out of Mount Lake Terrace
released their album; Blind Eye Gone in 2003.
Their album displays their intense interest in Egypt and
the Egyptian culture. Nineteen 5 is: an anomalous coordinate
linking hyper-dimensional tetrahedral geometry to the face
on Mars, the pyramids, and structures on the dark side of
the moon.
Many songs on this album are difficult to listen to because
the vocals make up so much of the music, and the lyrics
are difficult to understand. The songs seem to jump about
in underlining topics, or are about the Egyptian culture.
The songs also have just about every other word drawn out
by vocalist, Christine Wayne. The "yeahs" are
extremely over done, to the point of annoyance.
Guitarist Kevin Watkins skill is best displayed in track
6, thinkin' thoughts. He shows pretty raw aggression through
out the song. Though drums and guitar both sound rather
novice. Vocals are over the top on each song, seemingly
making up for the lacking instrument intricacy, or vice
versa.
This band would not be half bad if they cut down the drawn
out vocals and tried more intricate instrumental arrangements.
You almost have to be as enthusiastic about Egyptian culture
to appreciate the band. I think it safe to assume people
such as that are few and far between. |
