CHUCKLES AND MR. SQUEEZY

What the heck, I might as well throw in my 2 cents in about this HIGHLY controversial release from Dredg. EL CIELO was wonderful. CATCH WITHOUT ARMS was good. And THE PARIAH was really good. However, the cycle is broken with CHUCKLES AND MR SQUEEZY. It is not wonderful, good, really good, or anything close. Out of 11 songs available on ITunes. I downloaded just 2- "Another Tribe" and "The Thought of Losing You". Neither is a prog song, but I liked them nonetheless. Everything else off this disc struck me as filler, boring, or just plain irritating. Their sound has been changed so much here that they are basically just another of a million pop rock groups out there. Gone are the wonderful melodies and atmospheres from their previous releases. Even the cover is lame. I am still a big fan of Dredg, but am cautiously awaiting the next release maybe next year. Could be a winner again or it could be the end for me. 1 star
