V/Vm - Sometimes Good Things Happen, Album Review 22nd April 2002.

V/Vm - Sometimes Good Things Happen, Album Review 2002.




And once again, V/VM decide to treat us to some of the worst music ever made. Or is that the best? What's right and what's wrong?
Sometimes Good Things Happen is a VERY loud album. No, it's a VERY quiet album. Well, it's both. Probably. You see, V/VM have knocked up two versions of the album: one is right and one is wrong, but which one is which? Do you know, and if you buy it, do you think you'll know whether ear-splitting noise is right, Mechanical Ambience is wrong? Who knows?
You may get to hear that The Truth is Dead as a slab of distorting noise, you may hear it as eerie soundwaves, but either way you'll hear it as a curiosity and possibly as an annoyance. It may not be pleasurable, but it's good. Or is that bad?

It felt as if the band had stolen Leftfield's sound-system, the bass shook you right in the throat with alarming intensity, an intensity that was shared by  vocalist Todd Baechele as he leapt from keyboard to mic and across the stage in a way that made MC Hammer look like he was suffering with arthyritis. Or maybe it was the intensity of the son...
