Alas, another non-flattering review. Listen and decide for yourself.
Hear! See! Feel! Taste! Review
by Nitsuh Abebe
The Cords' semi-riot-grrly sound (one Babes in Toyland reference goes a long way) sounded a bit unnecessary as of the early nineties -- 1997's Hear! See! Feel! may be better-constructed than the Cords' earlier work, and its songs might be better, but there's something very unlikeable about the fact that the band was still treading these same grounds as of the late nineties. There are a few new developments -- a few less guitar-heavy twists, and a greater eye toward composition instead of rock power -- but the sound itself was rather done as of Hear! See! Feel!'s release, making it difficult to give the album much credit.
