Module: Imagineering<\/p><\/div>I listened to the new offering from Module<\/b> and had to have the record. Then I got it and didn’t like it. The next spin started out great, but got real boring for most of the middle tracks. The next session was wonderful and I loved it again.<\/p>\n

This strange love\/hate relationship with this record doesn’t make much sense to me. I can’t quite figure out what I think about it. The first few tracks are great. The last few as well. The middle is the selling point. As background listening, it’s wonderful. However, since I cannot possibly write this without referencing the Shatter<\/b> soundtrack, I desired something more than background music. Got plenty of it already, thanks.<\/p>\n

So, what’s wrong<\/i> with this record, you might ask. Well, nothing. That’s why I’m so confused. On the one hand, it’s precisely what I want. Perhaps mood has something to do with it. The songs aren’t too long, usually have some catchy pull to them, and remind me of Module’s<\/b> other releases. I think the flow of the songs isn’t quite so grand. Several could be skipped. Perhaps several should<\/i> be skipped to craft a better-flowing LP. With some filler songs removed, the best of the best could shine. Ultimately, I like this album. Not all of it, sadly. Fortunately, the good is rather good and it might be something I go back to, culling my favorite tracks into a longer EP. Or, I’ll just say, “Fuck it,” and turn on Shatter<\/b>. We’ll see how that battle turns out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
