This is essentially half an album’s worth, and I am really hoping that there is much more to come. I’m also hoping I get to see the band again someday. These five tracks will keep me satisfied for a while, but I have a hunger for more from this excellent band.
Norway has produced many excellent prog bands, and I see no reason why this group shouldn’t join that list.
I find the diverse unpredictability of the material appeals to me a lot, despite the shortness of the tracks. These 10 songs are predominately melodic but with an aggressive edge.
Moron Police’s Pachinko takes listeners on a surreal, emotionally charged journey, blending grief, absurdity, and hope with their signature mix of progressive rock, metal, and unexpected melodic twists. The album spins from introspective melancholy to playful chaos, leaving a lasting impression of skillful, unpredictable brilliance.
I cannot fault this latest release in any way. Five years has been a long time to wait for it but it’s well worth that wait. I and many others now need to wait with bated breath for whatever Chris comes up with next. It’s guaranteed to be excellent; his track record ensures that.
