THE NECK PILLOW

I must admit, this is probably the most boring album I've heard in decades. In between some reasonable action at times, the lull is almost sufficiently long to have a little sleep and not miss a thing. Established artists like Pink Floyd can get away with extended pieces and a laid back approach and make it work. This band however are not PF and are taking liberties at offering the holes in their Ementhaler cheese with little solid material on the side.

Some narration in German is not really helpful either and only adds to the dull monotony. The most surprising thing is that when these musicians decide to be a bit more lively, they play quite well. The odd run on the synth, nice guitar work is rather pleasant, but those moments are few and far between and the whole times of activity would barely add up to a couple of shorter pieces - not an album of 76 mins in duration.

The score between holes and cheese is 4:1..
