Death In June - The Rule Of Thirds download free

I really wasn't expecting a master work with this album indeed. "All pigs must die" and then the Boyd Rice collaboration weren't much of a success even if it the later one was tiny bit more palatable, so we could have a hint on where the next album will bound to (Alas! should i call it epitaph at last?). Here is it! the album is not bad nor good, and way far from excellence. Three words: Isolated, Souless & cold could be used at discretion in order to make an adjectivization of its quality and content. The tone never varies, the guitar always stroll for the same passages and repeats the old norms and clichés from his own history. In return the voice follow the cadence from the strings and slowly induce you into sleep that way ruining the lyrics which in return add the variation and the more original side of the album, this is emotionless and out any vitality. Doug has enterely succumbed to nihilism, he has made Death in june his own tomb. There's no collaborators, there's no effects (aside from very subtle located samplers from recording voice speech in three songs) This is Death in june at is more purest form, Douglas alone and shamefully there's nothing there, except perhaps acceptable poems. I am not sure if this effect is a compensation after listening countless other neo-folky bands that had been flagrantly imitating, copying and sometimes surpassing and inproving the labour of the one of the godfathers of neo-folk and practically the inventor of the new age of neo-folk avantgarde. Nevertheless is rather obvious that Death in june ran out of ideas and inventive, this work is one more time the probe about this fact. Douglas sounds bored, Rule of the thirds sounds like an album made to complete a commitment and the result will obviously be that youll end trying to get rid of it too. Perhaps the last two songs change the dive into the placid pool of forgetfulness."Takkeya" is kind of a pray and Let go has the feel of a mantra. This is a marble stone at Death in june's grave and it suits well for the coldness and indifference it does projects.
