The Future Is The Medium by Compulsion - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

Not as heavy, proud, and mighty as Comforter, but Compulsion's Future Is Medium is just as edgy and takes more chances. One of the more interesting albums of the year, it's sort of like Guided by Voices LPs in that it covers so much territory and gathers a sort of mad momentum with its different styles converging. And certainly, Future is chock-full of hot moments, such as "Juvenile Scene Detective." Don't miss; even if the import route turns out to be the only one.
