Tailblock – “Think Or Be”
Either Tailblock’s Think
Or Be EP is as sonically versatile an EP as you’ll hear anytime soon, or it
has a bit of an identity crisis. As it turns out, it’s more of the former than
the latter. Opening with a barrage of beefy riffs and driving hooks on “Think
Or Be” before breaking down into a bombardment of frantic guitars and crashing
cymbals during the latter stages of “Heavy Arms,” Think Or Be quickly transitions into clean mid-90’s alt-rock on the
punchy “Rocket,” before ramping up to the pace on the frenzied, Glassjaw-esque
“Blisters.” “Listen” presents a definite Deftones vibe with atmospheric swells
and upsurges that come crashing down as often as they build, and closer “100”
tempers Think Or Be a bit with
emotional lines and superb melodies. Think
Or Be is a chameleon of a record, one that’s pretty tough to categorize, so
I won’t. As they say, nobody puts baby in the corner. Think Or Be scratches a lot of itches, that’s for sure.
