Tobacco "Maniac Meat" LP

Noisy and diverse, this feels like an experiment but Tobacco seems to have lost the thread that tied F&*ked up friends together. It is enjoyable as a defining step away from the blissed out candy coated fuzz that is BMSR. There are enjoyable moments but for my taste it feels a little to much like a chopped up search for identity. Like a bunch of ideas with nothing in common being dropped in front of you for rapid consumption. Hmm, that doesn't sound very possitive. I do like this record so don't take that the wrong way. This record is insane in a good way. The songs just sound like seperate entities. The inclusion of Beck on two tracks is a interesting development but I would have liked to get another heavier dose of Aesop Rock.
