the basic premise of more gybe! is a good one. if it's from the heart. but it seems like they're going through the motions. it's maybe hard to blame them, given...everything. fuck, i'd do it. kids. they're expensive.
this is probably a transition disc, and it's probably not going to really make sense until the next one. even if the next one is no disc at all. as an end, it seems cynical. but they've been leaning towards that kind of canterbury improv sound for a while now. recognition tends to hurt bands like this, as they end up thinking every pattern they shit out is gorecki-level brilliant, if they don't just stop caring if it is or not. they'll get the awards. they'll sell out the concerts. it doesn't matter. then they'll go home, and...kids. they're fucking expensive.
these people all have other projects that are closer to their hearts, but this is necessary to allow those projects to happen. and they can't use a different label. they can't retire it out of hallowed respect. the point is that this is the one that markets fawn over. the one that allows everything to continue...
they know it. but, you know. kids.
this is observational, not judgmental. i'm patient. and i trust these boys and girls. so, i'll be quiet and wait for them to finish.
