Ghostland Observatory: Robotique Majestique

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Robotique Majestique, the latest from Austin
electro-rock weirdo outfit Ghostland Observatory, is a good EP trapped inside a
mediocre album. The first half hits hard, from the epic, crescendoing
instrumental "Opening Credits" through the party-starting "Dancing On My
Grave." But as the second half kicks in, Aaron Behrens' dramatic wild-man
vocals transition from Freddie Mercury-like affectation to grating
caterwauling, and button-pusher Thomas Turner overshadows them with a
never-ending cavalcade of bleeps and bloops, which are extraordinary only in
their level of predictability.
