It’s been awhile since feeling this low. I thought the weight of the big burden was lifted, but as soon as that one started to fade, another few piled on and I’m lower than before. So I’m trying to not sink lower and get to my daily duties without freaking out – like listening to Park’s Jacob The Rabbit and reviewing it because it’s sitting in my calendar and they deserve some words tossed their way, right? At first I wanted to write them off, but then I found at least one song in the few to actually care about.
First off, the titles of these songs – kudos. I’m not sure you’re going to be able to yell out a couple of these at shows because they look like Harry Potter spells. Anyways at first “Lepus Fugam” was giving me a 30 Seconds to Mars opener vibe. Then that quickly came apart the next couple listens. With Jared Leto off the table, I moved on to “The Infection of El-ahairhah” aka the best one off the record. The words were crystal and I couldn’t help but cozy up to the line, “scared, shaking and listening.” It mirrored my present state perfectly. Then it kind of fell off for me towards the end with “Tickling the Dragon’s Tail.”
Three songs deep, there is something for everyone – hell, even I found something and this type of rock isn’t my first choice. It’s a better fit for those who have Circa Survive and Thursday albums constantly spinning. So if that’s you, check out Park’s Jacob The Rabbit out now on Bad Timing Records. Hey, it’s their first batch of new music in eight years – dig in man!
