Painted on Water: Chicago Issue

This Turkish band may think they know how to rock out, but the new pop/jazz/rock style is a memo I must have missed. Painted On Water, produced by Demirkan, is a painful listen for the fellow rock lover. The album, Chicago Issue, is a jerk jazzy sound that is “spiced” up with some serious lack of talent on the guitar. This alone could make Painted On Water fail, but Erener’s adds those Polish pop vocals bringing this all together as one chaotic rock experience. An frightful experience one might find difficult to compare any other to. Where as most pop rock leaves much to be desired to the traditional rock fan, the jazzy upbeat completes any doubt in the listeners ear. The songs end up fading into one another, only stretching your headache into one long nightmare. This album could lead rock fans to insanity, not one member of this band works well with another, leaving your ears wanting to fall off your head just to get away from the ruckus they call music. Never before has any band disgraced a genre so badly. This album has no better use than to be a coaster for your dogs sunday treat that he’ll barf up later anyway.
