If there's one thing than sBach proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, it's that Hella guitarist Spencer Seim can play the hell out of the drums. This isn't to dismiss his work behind the skins with the Advantage, but to simply point out that Seim spends the majority of this album banging away at his kit at a frenetic and maddening pace. If he can find the space squeeze in another handful of bass drum kicks, or rattle off more snare and cymbal notes, he does it, and then throws in a few more at no extra charge. Seim's percussive generosity wears out its welcome pretty damn quick, which is endemic of this one man group's debut as a whole. While sBach is now a full-fledged band, everything on this album was performed by Seim-- all the frisky fretwork, all the eight-bit power-upsmanship, and all the aforementioned Animal-esque thrashing. It's all done in the service of a record that, despite its relentless attempts to stand out and grab your attention, comes off as an underwhelming, exhausting, and (ironically) anonymous effort.
