Synopsis

Album Description

MÍNUS have established themselves as one of the world?s most creative Artists. Like other Icelandic musical exports - BJORK and SIGUR ROS, there is no discrete way to verbally describe MÍNUS? artistically musical dissonance. Very few Artists have the ability to spawn music that defies description and breeds trends. Vocalist Krummi describes the sound on the new album as "?more melody, a stronger focus on cohesive musicianship coupled with rock infused with a progressive streak?". MÍNUS have forged a new revolution in music. They are the anti-trend, yet at the same time are trend defining. MÍNUS provide what every true music fan craves and searches for ? originality.

CD Reviews

Not jesus christ bobby

Ruben L. Carreras | 05/17/2007

(1 out of 5 stars)

"I'm sorry but this is not Minus. Hardly close. Yes, it is more accessible and yes the sound is cleaned up but what Jesus Christ Bobby was is what actually had turned me on to the band. It was raw, it was different and I believed that it would lead towards a path of new music to come ala JCB. Halldor Laxness suffers heavily under the more mainstream sound and is less interesting than Minus's previous effort. I can just about stand the first track on this cd but that's about it. I'm sorry, whoever said "this is what punk music should sound like" should retake their music education. Halldor Laxness is far from punk and hope that punk will never sound like this. I'm glad that it sofar doesn't. If you really enjoyed JCB then stay away from HL. Its not worth your penny for which it's currently being offered for. This review gets 1 star for being so cheap.
