again: this is a genre that i'm only going to dip mildly into. and, there's lots of image here, but are they actually any good?

the focus of the band actually seems to be the singer, and if you like a heavy blues sound (this isn't metal, it just plays it on tv), with a sultry singer, there's something here for you. along with the all-image presentation, they're pretty atmospheric, so you get dramatic interplay of bass and drums in the quieter moments, leading to nifty drops and whatnot. it's not bad, exactly.

but, i need more guitar if i'm going to get hooked into the sound, and the guitars here are often entirely superfluous, just doubling the bass parts.
