Our Take

RUBE GOLDBERG MACHINE's latest offering, "Fragile Times," is a rollercoaster of sonic experimentation that will leave you scratching your head in the best possible way. From the opening track "Dizzying Heights," which sounds like a mash-up of a carnival and a space shuttle launch, to the closing notes of "Falling Apart," a haunting ballad that will make you question your own existence, this album is a wild ride from start to finish.

The band's ability to seamlessly blend genres is nothing short of genius, with hints of prog rock, electronica, and even a touch of polka thrown in for good measure. The instrumentation is top-notch, with layers upon layers of intricate melodies and unexpected twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

But what really sets RUBE GOLDBERG MACHINE apart is their fearless lyricism, tackling hard-hitting topics such as climate change, political corruption, and the perils of modern technology. Tracks like "Collapse" and "System Error" are both thought-provoking and catchy, showcasing the band's knack for writing songs that pack a punch both musically and thematically.

In conclusion, "Fragile Times" is a must-listen for any music lover looking for something fresh, exciting, and a little bit weird. RUBE GOLDBERG MACHINE have truly outdone themselves with this latest effort, solidifying their place as one of the most innovative bands in the industry today. So grab your hipster headphones, sit back, and enjoy the ride - you won't be disappointed.
