Hate to sound coy, flippant, but it will be hard to top this one in 2008 for my ears. It will be impossible for this one to fall out of a Top 3 spot and, yes, it’s March as I type this. It’s everything you want in release – it’s fresh, it challenges convention yet still remains wholly accessible and with every listen, something new *experienced*. There’s a word we don’t’ get drop that often with music, in general. ‘Experience’. Think about it. Really. I won’t lead your thoughts but go with me a bit – I put soundbites of EVERY single song below. Take 10, 15 minutes and listen to them and validate(or ‘invalidate’) what I am saying. I am not under any influence other than the drug that continues to push Not Lame mission forward since 1995(yes, we’ve going ‘this’ for that long, folks!). Our good friend and respected writer Mike Baron(he’s famous in the comic book world – no, really!!) came by our office a few weeks ago and borrowed our advance copy and to say it stunned him is understatement. Not Lame lets his words take over, at this point: (full review can be viewed at www.notlameblog.com) ‘We all know what an ear worm is. It’s a tune you get in your head and can’t get out. There are good ear worms and bad ear worms. Bad ear worm: theme to The Munsters. Good ear worm: the new Bryan Scary record. Yes, the whole freakin’ record. Rare is the song that grabs you on the first listen and won’t let go. Such is the power of every song on Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears: Flight of the Knife.’ Baron goes onto to give his erudite evaluation on every song and finishes with the flourish – ‘every song looms large against the Liliputian landscape. Flight of the Knife is an instant classic and certain to be in my Top Ten list for the year.’ You gotta be kidding – ‘duh!’, Not Lamers – EXTREMELY ‘n MASSIVELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Song #1 - mp3
