I have a copy of it at my office, and while parts of it are good, I can only say that I am really only into, oh let’s say 40% of the song. In my opinion with the lack of a bass player and Skyler Spohn’s vocal stylings, it comes off feeling incomplete. The ideas and the riffs are there, but the execution isn’t.
Regardless, like Cheeseburger a couple weeks before them, Children are in Los Angeles for a very brief period and anyone who is mildly interested what these guys have to offer live, should get on down to La Cita tonight for a semi-rare West Coast appearance.
