Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker - Questamation
I’m going to be reviewing the new album by Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker - USS for short - called Questamation. The album was released on March 10th, 2009, and is the band’s second album.
The music sounds like 90s electro mixed with cock-rock (not a pleasing combination). Although the vocals sound decent at times, vocalist Ash Buchholz often uses an edgier tone that makes me cringe. It reminds me of Nickelback, or something equally awful.
Don’t get me wrong, this album isn’t completely terrible, it’s just mostly terrible. I came close to enjoying the opening track, Cloudboy, but it’s so closely followed by crap like P.S I Can Change - which is just plain bad.
Do you remember Econoline Crush? I didn’t think so, and I bet that in a couple years no one will remember USS either. When someone asks me about USS in the future (no one will), I will grudgingly respond: “Ooh, that’s just something that happened in 2009…don’t worry, they’re gone now.”
And we will all collectively sigh with relief. That’s all folks!
BW.
