Record Review, Without Thought, Get Down and Give me Infinity


Artist: Without Thought
Source: Paul Groome


When situations arise in life where you feel your instincts, opinions or even emotions may not be reliable in finding a conclusion to a situation, science is always the way forward.

For the album, Get Down And Give Me Infinity by Without Thought, I used the “Thirty Second Method". This is the proven scientific rule that prevents infections of the inner ear through frequent, or in some cases small/concentrated, exposure to tripe. The Thirty Second Method adheres to a strict procedure of listening only to the first thirty seconds of each song of a previously unheard album, thus preventing excessive amounts of shit from entering the bloodstream via the ear canal. In situations where further analysis of songs is required, they can be reviewed individually. Here are my results........

Hailing from Guildford in England, Without Thought have an endless list of obvious influences. Any of the current list of "post-punk" bands in the charts should fit the description here, with Green Day and The Offspring probably being quoted as the godfathers of their genre. There are some distinctly metal hooks in their songs though, and some of the breakdowns give glimpses at some heavier idols. But just when you think they've turned a corner, they lapse back into the same rhetoric.

Clicky clicky for the rest of the article.
