burnout store pt. 4/4: turnstile

turnstile - step 2 rhythm 7"
i loved the 'pressure to succeed' 7" and therefore there was no way for me not to get their follow-up release. as it was announced by reaper records it was the same game to me as with the new terror record. i said to myself to get it from a german distro or burnout. i read some reviews respectively some posts of fellow bloggers. the consent was that it was good but the newly introduced clean vocals were strange. but i wanted to pass my own verdict on it. next to the terror 'l.b.t.c.' record i was specially out for this one. i had a good feeling that burnout would have it and they didn't disappoint.
when i gave it the first spin i found myself immediately hooked. i don't know about others but i felt reminded on some 80's sitcom tv series as the opening riff kicked in. probably alf. but it's more of a feeling. the tunes are by no means identical. i love the whole thing from first to last tune. the clean singing is good too and fits into the sound seamlessly. the singer managed to let them sound not cheesy at all. they really put their unique sound onto the next level. as far as i'm concerned they could crank out 7" after 7" like this.
the point i agree with most fellow bloggers is the cover pic. looks stupid. if it only was a picture of a wild pit or at least a picture where more dudes were to be seen. the cover shot makes one believe that only a handful of people attending a turnstile show. but you can't have it all. burnout had the most common colour in stock. the clear green vinyl out of 1000 copies. there are 300 on black and 500 on white vinyl too. digital download included. reaper records. 2013.
