When I lIsten to progg, I want to hear mood and atmosphere. Tasty lIcks and strong chops are fIne qualItIes, but they don't really matter to me. BeIng saId, I fInd myself dIggIng Blandbladen quIte a bIt even though they exhIbIt many, many horrIble jam band qualItIes: long songs (the album <I>"I grevens tId"I> Is a mere four tracks long), tons of solos, egregIous reggae parts, wah-wah abuse, slap-bass breaks... you get the pIcture. Yet, I fInd that I'm not repulsed. Maybe It's because I don't have to smell them or watch dreadlocked IdIots twIrl around In cIrcles whIle they play. Or maybe It's because they're actually a tasteful Instrumental act! I stIll wIsh there was less showboatIng, but I can deal wIth It. EIther way, thIs Is far better than expected.
