Division of Laura Lee - Das Not Compute

Division of Laura Lee's bio says of the bands sound "...the result is a band that sounds like nothing you've ever heard exactly before yet is almost immediately familiar." That kind of sums it all up in a nutshell. Das Not Compute has a lot going on, but it's definetly a straight forward rock record. Pretty much every track features a nice amount of fuzzed out bass and some sort of anthematic chorus sung with such earnestness that you feel like being lead to revolution. It's certainly not a chant, but it's worthy of a rock fist here or there. While diverse within its own scope - nice balance of energy filled songs to the slower numbers; great keyboard integration to add some texture here and there; and some well done rising tension - it certainly has a scope that could get a bit monotonous if you're not completely into it. Das Not Compute is a strong rock record that, while completely original in it's own right, feels like a lot of stuff you've heard before. [www.divisionoflauralee.com]
