This isn’t as dumb as you think it might be, regardless of how you feel
about something called Frogressive Punk
or what a nine-minute intro track called “Cocaintro” (complete with rabid
sniffing) does to your constitution. No, this is heavy prog, in Russian, with
distinct elements of funk (oh, I guess the “F” in Frogressive and the “unk” in Punk
sort of point to that). Think Zappa meets Fishbone; Living Color meets King
Crimson; Yes meets the Chili Peppers. Actually, now that I’ve written that, I
don’t feel like I’m selling it. But it’s still pretty entertaining, and at
least the vocals are mostly spoken and quite spread out and in Russian, so
they’re not nearly as annoying as they could be. The musicianship is absolutely
top notch; I’d recommend giving these guys a try if you’re into any of the
stuff I just said. Probably a lot of you are.
Still, it’s like listening to a cartoon.
