STRANGE IN STEREO

As many other bands of the brand new 90s genre, Doom-Death Metal IN THE WOODS soon gave up what they've begun with. "Strange in Stereo" shows the band in it's transitional phase, that's why the whole piece sounds a bit unsure. Some tracks have their moments, but most of them fail to impress me. Another problem I have with IN THE WOODS' material is lack of good memorable melodies. The whole stuff is pretty atmospheric and well-played, I admit it, but who says that's enough? If you're interested with what Doom-Death Metal was becoming in late 90s, better check ANATHEMA or KATATONIA albums from those times first - this one may disappoint you.
