Customer Reviews

Huge Business
This is an album I really wasn't expecting from these guys. It took me a few listens to finally dig it, but I'm really enjoying it. If you're familiar with their previous efforts, you'd know that they've always been heavy and in your face. This one is more nuanced and as previously said the guitar from Toshi has as much a part as the bass from Jared or the drums from Coady. On previous efforts Jared's singing was loud throughout and on this one he's toned that down and on a couple tracks he's singing in a tone I hadn't yet heard.

This album isn't as immediately satisfying and as in your face as the others but with time you'll really like it. It's a new direction for a great band and great bands have to shake it up form time to time to keep things interesting.

OH MY GOD THIS RULES!!!!!
definitely a little different than their last effort, this one is much more "spacey." it's still freakin' awesome and something that you should immediately buy!

It had potential, but it ended up letting me down
Disappointing, to say the least. After having listened to their previous albums -- most notably the focused, epic output that was "Here Comes the Waterworks" -- this seems too meandering and anti-climactic. Toshi Kisai's guitar work does nothing to augment the quality sludge-ridden, bass-heavy sound that this band is known for. Instead, the guitar parts simply noodle along, and fail to amount to anything more than a distraction-tactic that takes away from the overall sound. Every band must experiment once in a while, but unfortunately for Big Business, said experimentation ends up leading the band to their first stumbling block of their career. Here's hoping they can shape up the production and guitar parts for their next album -- whenever that may come to be.
