Well, here’s the first, and hopefully last, ammendment to my Best Albums of 2008 post. Late last night I totally realized that I had left this absolute 2008 gem off of my list…and I knew it was a crime. So here it is…you’ve heard me talk about these guys a couple times before in 2008…it’s Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears with their brilliant Flight of the Knife!
Flight of the Knife is a poppy prog-like concept album, full of complex and quirky arrangements, which are all irresistably catchy and satisfying. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up…you will be pleasantly surprised that such a new band has the chops to pull this kind of music off and has the balls to make something this unique these days.
