"Fallatious words of a snake"

• Artist: Two Ton Boa
  
• Album: Parasiticide
  
• Year: 2006
  
• Why I picked it up: The album cover was really cool, with a gorgon like-head, only some snake heads are replaced with plugs, which adds to the image of the electricity pylons in the background

Two Ton Boa is a competent rock band with a unique sound. Unique, but not always great. There are certainly a few tracks which are definitely very well done, but there are also enough tracks which simply shouldn't have been recorded. The trite bass lines are too simplistic to be drawing, and the guitar also ends up being typically too downplayed. There is much too much focus on the vocalist, and since she's not such a good singer--she has two styles: low & droning or high & soft--this equates to many songs not being up to par.

The lead singer also plays the bass, it's a shame she's not too good at either.
