Product Description

Psychetronic Rock for Mind Expansion Specimen 37's second release delves further into the psyche of the Specimen, chronicling a "week" in experiences. The struggle to find divinity and meaning in the seemingly mundane is a recurring focus for the Specimen. Some other topics grappled with are disconnectedness, despair, war, insanity, corporate capitalism, and genetic engineering. Stylistically diverse, yet with an overall cohesiveness, The Endless Looping Game continues Specimen 37's genre-bending journey into uncharted audio realms. From the angular, jarring rhythms and chaos of "Blow Things Up!", to the soothing swells of "Thursday Morning Jogger", the listener remains engaged.

4 out of 5 stars What is Life? Damned if I know!.......2004-09-18

But I do know I dig this album from our friends Specimen 37.

(See my review for their album, Adverse Reaction)

I didn't think they could beat their previous album but with the release of The Endless Looping Game, I see my fears were unfounded. They continue to evolve their psycadelic jamin' rock sound and have really hit their stride with this album. I've listened to it many times and find new bits to enjoy each time.
They still show hallmarks of bands that influence them but retain their own distinct voice throughout. If I had to think of a comparison to any one album, I'd say TELG reminds me of a better version of Roger Waters' Radio K.A.O.S. The topics they explore give the album a sci-fi feel, yet it is still immeadiately accessible.
If you enjoyed their first outing, I don't see how you can go wrong with this one.

* A really worthless CD, don't waste your time.
** A CD that has some good stuff, but some major defects. Don't bother unless completeing a collection.
*** An OK CD that will please fans of the artist in question but may not convert new listeners.
**** An excellent CD that represents the best work of the artist in question and can be bought with confidence.
