Maybe it’s timing. I’d heard every riff on this CD 1,000 times before I was old enough to buy porn. And I associate them with being a sad-bastard teenager, because that’s what I was back then.
Gomi play well. This guitar-heavy rock shows listeners that the members of Gomi definitely have chops on their instruments. They just haven’t yet learned to use their skills and their influences to find a voice of their own. When they do, they’ll be a force to be reckoned with.
The vocals are, like the other elements of the songs, perfect for rock radio circa 1995. They are delivered in the whisper-scream that became so popular before the turn of the century.
Tsunami’s songs are an amalgamation of modern rock from Nirvana ‘til Disturbed. Every band in between can be heard somewhere on this CD.
Missing the 90s? You might want to give Tsunami a listen. Personally, I’d recommend dusting off your copy of In Utero instead. But when Gomi’s next CD is released, check it out. They just need some time to grow musically.
Gomi play 90s modern rock on their CD, Tsunami. No more, no less. My feelings about the album are mixed. The songs are a very proficient period piece about a bygone era. That said, I can’t seem to get at all excited about this music.
