Savages layer up a sound stack right good, packed with growling bass, phaser-edged guitar and a reverb-rich//sheetmetal-sheared heavy glaive sound. The sound is good.
But Savages don't really have anywhere to go with it - outside of the slowburning opener and closer, all the songs run together, and the fact that Jehnny Beth's inflected yowl sounds so damn Brownsteinian doesn't help the band stand out.
I hear echoes of all those guitars and purrs all smeared together - it lacks specific moments, and falls short of greatness as a soft-focus monument 3.5/5
