VIMTV Episode #97: Death From Above 1979: You’re aWoman, I’m a Machine

Jake: Recommended, 72/100

-Requested by and dedicated to Ian Anderson

Overview: The short lived Canadian duo Death From Above 1979 has only this studio release from 2006 to leave their mark on music. While that mark may not be enough to inspire generations to come, this is still a fun album to listen to. The distorted bass provides some amazingly infectious riffs, but the drums don’t always live up to the bass, and the vocals can become obnoxious at times. The album also maintains the same level of intensity throughout, which can become tiring.
