For me I think the main issue with “Aways Even” is that all of these six tracks are just rather plain, bog-standard & text book examples of psychedelic & space rock. Each track follows the pattern you expect it to, & each track builds, drifts or loops out just how you think it will, with a mix of repetitive churning rock drumming, spiralling guitar & bass patterns, and from time to time the addition of spacey or tripped-out synth textures. Sure “Photos of Photos” was far from original, overtly inventive or fresh, but at least the tracks on that album had some memorability about them, along with a flare for atmospherics & entrancing rock grooves. All of the tracks here just sound like a band on auto-pilot, with little or no sonic flare, and zero element of surprise or creative flair present anywhere here.

Instead of entrancing & sucking you in “Aways Even” just revels in space & psychedelic rock clichés. With the band offering up a bland selection of un-memorable song craft- let’s just hope this is a bad day at the office, and not the sign of a band running out of ideas, or worse still a band that just wants to repeat recording the same album over & over again…steadily get more bland & uneventfully with each new release they put out..
