    I don't know if this is one of the bravest or boldest albums of the year, but its definitely one of the neatest.

    For all its surprises, Creature Comforts marks one of the first times Black Dice has sounded like a band in transition, and consequently lacks much of the serendipitous splendor of their previous efforts.

    On their directionless new Creature Comforts, Black Dice seem confused, in fact, about what precisely their aesthetic is.

    I've seen them live, and I won't lie it was very confusing. I spent the first 20 minutes of their song talking and chatting away with friends while I presumed they were "warming up" when indeed the static cracks, synthetic strings, and seemingly unbalanced band members was their first song. I'm from Maine, as are two if not all of them, but I just can't get into this stuff. I'm sure it has it's place, it's just not with me.… Expand

    Psychedelic electronica era DOESN'T belong to Black Dice anymore. Garbage.
