Spaceboy | Searching The Stone Library For The Green Page Of Illusion
I'm sure
the band had a blast recording this album. Listening to it is a completely
different story.
CD, Southern Lord/Konkurrent
Tekst: Ruud van Esch

Spaceboy is supposed to be a "mathematical torment," combining death metal and brutal doom. This is only partly true. Okay, the musicians obviously like jazz-rock and know what they're doing. And there are three songs well over eleven minutes on this album. And each time you think you feel a standard stoner-riff coming, Spaceboy takes a turn in a completely different direction.
But brutal metal? More like psychedelic hard rock. The songs resemble endless journeys through unknown territories and could even be a soundtrack of an apocalyptic movie. Spaceboy's sense of experiment can't be argued, whereas their ideas of song structures do raise question marks. The longer compositions seem to consist of two or three songs that are put together without any policy on building up tension. Long and needless acoustic guitar parts are like commercial breaks during a good movie. The shorter tracks have all kinds of musically challenging breaks and riffs, but placing a dozen tricks and licks behind each other doesn't make a good song. I'm sure the band had a blast recording this album. Listening to it is a completely different story.
