The Musiquarium’s Getting Killed Review Score: 9 out of 10
On Getting Killed by Geese, the Brooklyn rock band expands upon the sound they started with 3D Country, taking what made 1970s classic rock great and giving it a fresh coat of lead-free paint.
Trinidad opens the album up using the quiet verse/loud chorus dynamic, with vocalist Cameron Winter going ape shit in the choruses, screaming about how there’s a bomb in his car. Cobra and Au Pays du Cocaine wouldn’t sound out of place on Rolling Stones albums like Sticky Fingers or Exile on Main St.
The title track has a tasteful bridge section that evoked the bridge in Black Sabbath’s Supernaut. Percussive grooves are the backbone of tracks like Husbands and Taxes. Bow Down has Geese getting jazzy, like they were on 3D Country‘s Undoer. The band sounds like they are on the brink of imploding on the closer, Long Island City Here I Come, but they never quite cease control of the chaos.
3D Country was quite varied and unhinged, but Getting Killed is an even more cohesive and refined project. If this is what Getting Killed feels like, then I suppose its not the worst way to go, though I’m not quite ready to die.
