The Tupolev Ghost – The Tupolev Ghost

In a desperate bid to stay relevant, I will be reviewing everything in ‘Twitter’ format from now on. First up to benefit from this, The Tupolev Ghost, with their new self-titled mini-album, (and first release for Big Scary Monsters, who TLOBF <3 <3 <3 <3′s):

About 23 minutes ago:
This album starts nicely I guess with a build throughout the first track which isn’t really a track I guess.

About 22 minutes ago:
Mmmmm. Post-hardcore.

About 20 minutes ago:
I want a sandwich.

About 19 minutes ago:
Stuff keeps falling off my desk. My phone just fell off! Shit!

About 17 minutes ago:
This track sounds just like the last one, but I like it though.

About 16 minutes ago:
Apparently this next song, ‘Giant Fucking Haystacks’ is like 6 minutes long. It had better be good.

About 14 minutes ago:
It is!

About 13 minutes ago:
The chorus kind of sounds like “cos we don’t fucking hate it,” but I’m sure it’s just the title.

About 9 minutes ago:
This one is probably the best song on the record.

About 8 minutes ago:
What am I going to score this record as? Scoring is really boring.

About 7 minutes ago:
It occurs that this review has very little real information in it. So, um… this band are from Cambridge.

About 6 minutes ago:
Yeah, this is a really good post-hardcore record. Bit by-the-numbers maybe though… nothing ATD-I didn’t already do better perhaps.

About 5 minutes ago:
My arm hurts.

About 3 minutes ago:
This last one throbs with the sort of passion that only post-hardcore can really achieve. But, then, ATD-I still did it better.

About 2 minutes ago:
I think The Tupolev Ghost would probably be really good live.

About 1 minute ago:
I can’t review anything properly anymore. Why not? I hate myself.
