Why Bother?

The new ADULT. album Why Bother? off of the label Thrill Jockey. It seems as if with each album ADULT. gets just a little bit harder and more intense. Which by all means is a good thing the with Adam on the bass guitar putting a punkish ingredient in to the mix that ADULT. is made up of. With the increase of the bass guitar and the slightly decreasing lead of the drum machine Nicola picks up the slack with her lyrics which she seems to have perfected. Why Bother? seems to be ADULT. with almost near perfection, the vocals are definitely more involved along with the bass that seems to take the lead of the tracks, but the drum machine still plays a big part in the album. With ADULT.’S junior release Gimmie Trouble the tunes didn’t catch my attention like the previous albums. It seemed to replace the electro with far more punk. Thats where Why Bother? comes in and takes ADULT. to a new level of creativity and uniqueness. Why Bother? is the perfect blend of older ADULT. and the newer stuff. Not too electro and not too punk but the perfect blend of some of the best things around. The balance of the vocals, bass, & drum machines is pure awesomeness. This album blew me away I was expecting a somewhat of a let down like Gimmie Trouble but instead what you get with Why Bother? is the best of Anxiety Always, Ressuscitation, & Gimmie Trouble. Simply the best if not second best ADULT. album yet, and if they continue on this path we can only expect better from them because we know and have been shown that they can deliver on all fronts. Heres my favorite track of the album:(Help support the artist and go purchase their hard work you freeloader )
