transistorcity Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Three years in the making since the release of their critically acclaimed debut full length "Erase All Name And Likeness," Transistor Transistor have returned with a crushing and articulate new album in "Ruined Lives." Transistor Transistor returned to Godcity Studios to record "Ruined Lives" with Kurt Ballou (Converge) who captured all the desperation, volume and misanthropy in 11 dark winter days of January.

dante3000 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm not sure I get the praise. They're not bad at all but it seems just a like a lot of spazzy rock bands. Then again I never liked the high piercing vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transistorcity Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Poorly Written yet Positive Review on Rock Sound. Release Date: Out Now Label: Level Plane Rating: (8) They may have left us hanging for three years since winning Rock Sound’s affections with 05’s ‘Erase All Name And Likeness’, but New Hampshire quartet Transistor Transistor certainly don’t fuck about on their long-awaited second album proper. All you get in way of introduction is a few seconds of menacing, muted riffing and feedback before opener ‘Morning Sickness’ swings like a wrecking ball into full, frantic motion, frontman Nat’s slurred, screamed delivery raging its way through a 20-second verse before a typically riled chorus. It’s a mighty slap round the chops, like being woken from a drunken slumber with a life-affirming bucket of water, only to realise upon clearing your eyes that you’re lying in a gutter. But while lyrically and often sonically this album has a spine of doom and despair, it’s also got bags of groove and songs that stay in your head after mercilessly rattling it around. And when they’re not battering away at your eardrums, you’re treated to the apocalyptic midpiece ‘Harvest’, Nat’s desperate vocals ranting over a repetitive, dread-ridden riff before brilliantly flowing into ‘Irreversible’ as the assault is resumed. Not a collection of instant club classics then, but most certainly all the better for it.
