Specialists/collaborators reviews

Warthur
Is the term "Sub-Basement" meant to put is in mind of "the bottom of the barrel"? Because that's what Bobby Liebling and Joe Hasselvander are scraping this time around. Their second album as a two-man Pentagram suffers from a very basic problem: they had really, really good material on Review Your Choices, whereas Sub-Basement's songs seem to be of a lesser order. The performances are tight enough, but Hasselvander isn't really called on to do anything particularly interesting and Bobby Liebling's vocals don't even seem to convince Bobby and so have no chance of winning the listener over. In short, Sub-Basement captures Bobby and Joe on an off-day. Review your choices and listen to the previous album instead.
