MINUS
Jesus Christ Bobby (Victory)

Reviewed by John Sekerka



Never mind an ice-cream headache, here's an Icelandic migraine that'll splatter yer brain matter David Cronenberg style. Apparently there's more to the little grey island than Bjork. Minus waste no time scraping fingernails on blackboard with a relentless sonic attack even Painkiller might envy. Noise yes, but is there something else to keep me from scurrying away you ask? Sure, but you have to be resilient. Three tracks in and there's a quick change of pace, demonstrating actual music ability as instruments separate from one heaving mallet into discernable and sometimes melodic parts. True, the barking aural assault soon returns, but there's enough interesting twists to appease. For those who crave the noise, and plenty of it.
