"An Army of Shapes Between Wars"
Victory Records
You know your band is in
bad shape when your press bio claims that you are a leader in the nouveau
wave movement that everyone from the shitty Killers to genre architects
Franz Ferdinand are trying to disassociate themselves from.
Action Action are hardly cast from the same mold. Rather than try to
make kids dance with overplayed hi-hat tapping and peppy guitars, this
band seeks to bore their listeners with nauseating keyboard work and
little-to-no six string action. There's no fun on this record until
the last handful of songs, where the group pick up the temp and rock
a bit. "Analogue Logic," the most rocking track on the record, even
finds the band crying over and over that "This is the worst track."
Sheesh.
This band can best be compared to Orgy after having smoked
a ton of weed.
Just
droning
techno
babble
that
does no
one any
good. Avoid and move on.
