Dub Trio - Another Sound Is Dying: D

Music: 3 Production: 3
Total: 6 of 15: D

Well, I really should have found out what "dub music" was before I got this one. Dub is the art of taking other people's music, removing the lyrics, accenting the rhythm section, and then adding lots of trippy echoey effects. That certainly isn't anything I want to listen to.

Enter Dub Trio. Sampling iTunes and any rock/metal person will be drawn in. The three musicians on guitar, bass, and drums are outstanding (limited vocals). They tear it up with some incredible metal riffs. You'll be pumping your fist in the air and want to pummel the person next to you. Oh, but then it goes wrong. After about 20-40 seconds (after the iTunes preview) it goes into that trippy, echoey, reggaey sound which makes you want to burn your own ears out. Suddenly you're frustrated that such a talented band that could produce some incredible metal instead decided to do dub. Of course, if you love dub more than life itself, Dub Trio is your savior. But, that's not me. Stay extremely far away.
