Sleigh Bells - Reign of Terror
http://sunsetintherearview.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Sleigh-Bells-Reign-of-Terror.jpg

Sleigh Bells is one of the best bands to come out of the YouTube era, without question. But that doesn't change the fact that they spawned from a site that is nothing more than an Internet comment cesspool. And that fact begins to seep into this release and flush out its biggest weakness: it's relentlessly repetitive.

This is an amazing album, but it just keeps going. It keeps saying the exact same thing over and over and over again. It just keeps shooting out its message in the exact same method over and over and over again. Which sucks, because this is a great sound.

It's okay though, because this album definitely isn't drawn out. It's a bunch of two-to-four minute jams that add up to only thirty six minutes of your time. …
