Let’s Talk Daggers – ‘A Beautiful Life’ [Review]
If you’ve ever wondered what a panic attack might sound like, look no further than this album.
Let’s Talk Daggers do hyperventilating riffs, bludgeoning beats, and rhythms that would make a professional mathematician’s mind cave in. They don’t do sweet, calming chillaxatives – and even when they do turn down the intensity, the results possess a constant undercurrent of disturbed unease.
This is not the kind of music you’d admit to enjoying on a first date.
As a musical and artistic achievement, A Beautiful Life hits the bullseye. It’s a near-relentless thrill ride through three manically creative minds, and a more than worthy addition to any mathcore fan’s collection. A Beautiful Life may not be conventionally beautiful, but it is gripping, immersive, frantic, and full to bursting.
This is rock’n’roll in the age of anxiety.
