Voice Has Changed
Opening with the moody “Life’s Blood”, The Opposition’s entry into this year that never ends has echoes of everything we’ve heard this year. Giant drums ala Tears for Fears, maudlin vox (name a synth band that hasn’t sounded like that. Ok, I’m exaggerating) ala Echo and the Bunneymen, lofty, soaring self importance (read 25% of the bands) and very little to give a shit about. Moodscapes…Man, do you think The Cure and Echo know how many bands they influenced?
I think there’s a reason it’s hard to find anything about this band. And yet! They are still together and their most recent album was released in 2016. Of new material, that is. They put out a live album THIS YEAR.
This is totally serviceable, yet forgettable, music that you could put on in the background while you studied for that Physics in Sports exam.
Something tells me they would do well at an open air festival in the desert in the mid-00s.
