Rabbits' Lower Forms is just a muddy, dirty, sludgey, grimy record that really does not do much for me. It is not like I don't like this low-fi grungey sound, I am reminded of bands like Cough and Dragged into Sunlight, both of whom I enjoy more than this.
It is hard to quite put my finger on and I have thought on more than one occasion as I approached this review that perhaps I should consider passing on it and finding something that I enjoy more. I guess if you are a an of these guys you should perhaps skip reading this. Heck, if you don't like them, don't know them, or are indifferent to them you may want to skip this as well.
While the low-fi production certainly works in their favor with the instruments that do not sound like they've been produced within an inch of their lives. They sound like they just set themselves up in a garage and went a it. On the flip side of that, forget the possibility of melody and groove. This music is the antithesis of that.
The guitars and drums have a few cool moments throughout on songs like "Duck, the Pigs,” and "The Flow Below," but the vocals are excruciating, they go right through me head.
I don't know, this just doesn't work for me and I suspect it will no be entering my listening rotation anytime soon. I just don't feel it and I don really care to.
Not Recommended.
