Ok so Suuns sounded like a shitty high school jam band, nuff said. But I had such high hopes for Crystal Castles considering this second album is fucking amazing and beautiful and sounds real good rollin' around in my Jeep to work. I was more than disappointed; I was angry. So not even saying anything bad about their singer, Alice, because that bitch had a broken ankle and was still energetic as ever! Crowd surfing, writhing around, even taking a toke off of someone's joint! She was really giving 100% and this terrible show had nothing to do with her. My advice to the band is FIRE YOUR SOUND PERSON! The bass was literally choking me and it made it impossible to hear the goddamn songs! I was so pissed about it that I almost wanted to walk out, but I stuck it out just incase the sound dick pulled it together. It got a little better, but It was still, overall, pretty fuckin terrible. I was even thinking, "Okay, if Robert Smith comes out just for Not In Love, it will redeem this whole shit show." But that didnt happen either. I did like how they realized that their original version of that song was not as awsome as the R.S. version, so they decided to go with that. Bravo, I say! But here are some other tid bits I was upset/downright confused about with the show; never played "Untrust Us" or "Vanished" because I was kind of under the impression that those were kind of big songs for them. Also it was only an hour long, which i guess i get because she does have a friggin' broken ankle. If I had a broken ankle, i'd be like "hey guys, Im gonna sit in this chair and sing and heres a greatlight show. Enjoy." Okay, okay, there was one song that to me all of the fuckin songs should have sounded like and that was "Intimate." "Reckless" wasnt too bad either. So the overall feel of the show, in my opinion, was that the sound was so terrible that it made me feel like a) I was listening to it from the outside or b) I was driving next to a cholo with a bad sound system. Too much bass, just plum sounded shitty!
