User Album Review
West End reminds me of that disappointing first spin of Guitar Gangsters. I’d picked up The 69 Eyes’ new album on a whim, thinking the name sounded familiar, with good reason. With multiple platinum records under their arms from the 00’s, the glam-turned-goth collective has been active since the early 90’s. One might assume they intended to be a Sisters of Mercy that actually releases new music. That lengthy career path is evident in some of the stronger tracks. Lead single “Cheyenna” is easily the best of the bunch, carried entirely on the shoulders of an addictive lead guitar lick. All the tracks are built around the choruses, and there’s absolutely a few sweet ones in the mix, like the fun “Burn Witch Burn” and the darkly romantic “Black Orchid.” Perhaps the most overall impressive track is closer “Hell Has No Mercy” which sustains itself on the precise application of three chords and achieves a bluesy melancholy in the process. But by and large, West End reeks of extrinsic motivation. With few exceptions, it feels like a ticking of boxes of goth rock anthems, without the passion or depth to back it up.
