Brompton's Cocktail makes a lot of sense, but none of it is obvious, except for the really unsubtle parts, which are pretty obvious. In practice, this band actually doesn't make much sense at all.
They tried, they really did. "Art rock," they called it. They wanted to have lots of different types of songs all come from the same band. So they had progressive metal songs, and catchy acoustic ballads, and accordion funk songs, and twangy country tunes, and ambient stuff, and latin stuff, and throw it all together with some decent lyrics. The Beatles did it. Mr. Bungle did it, kind of. Why couldn't Brompton's Cocktail?
The end result is Take On An Empty Mind, an 11-song album that really gives you the gist of what they were trying to do. You know, before they collapsed in on themselves, a four-headed monster devouring itself from the tail forward.
BUY THIS ALBUM! PLEASE! Only $6 at CD Baby. Shit, that's nothing. You should buy two.
