The second verse the same as the first – Absurd Minds
return with their second full-length CD of Project Pitchfork
influenced EBM. It’s a good thing Deception was a really
good CD, because Damn The Lie shows little evidence of
artistic growth in terms of song writing, composition or
thematic. The songs on Damn The lie are well produced,
and well written, but they really just stay the course as laid
out on the previous CD.
While it is an enjoyable album to listen to, it really doesn’t
break any new ground. It’s good, but not great. If Absurd
Minds can just break out of this trying to sound “More
Pitchfork Than Pitchfork” mentality they seem to be set
into, and work towards a more unique sound of their own,
they could be one of the groups to watch in the next few
years. – chris parasyte
