After listening to both Board up the House and Dream Weapon, I am convinced that Genghis Tron can do no wrong. This is coming from a new fan, having discovered them only after listening to Dream Weapon. I've yet to listen to the rest of their backlog tho. But seriously, some rad experimental music right there. So fresh!

saying Genghis Tron was just grind on that album is an insult. they were so much more.

Agree that Dream Weapon would be a lot more enjoyable if it wasn’t released under the Genghis Tron name. There’s some great moments on it, but it’s just so boring and samey compared to the older albums, which were always diverse and you never knew what was coming. Wasn’t expecting them to still make “cybergrind”, but was expecting it to be a bit less….average.

I mean, I'm not against the direction they took with "Dream Weapon", I just feel that it's a constant, uninspired sequence of build-ups that lead nowhere. Simply put, the sound is ok yet the compositions aren't there.

Dream Weapon is great. I’ve always liked the more electronic elements of GT so this is a treat. They really accomplished their goal of writing more hypnotic compositions and Kurt Ballou’s production is top notch. Don't get why people are upset.....were they supposed to remake Board Up The House or Dead Mountain Mouth or something?

Yeah, I think this is probably the most measured take. I like what they did but it isn't congruent with the name.

I didn't like the first time I listened to it but now I'm starting to enjoy Dream Weapon. I think I still prefer the "old" Genghis Tron ,however, I also think it's great that they're trying new formulas.

I don't understand why people say that Dream Weapon isn't a ''Genghis Tron album''. Board Up the House has very mellow and atmospheric post-rock/metal and Boards of Canada-like parts as well, and it feels like Dream Weapon is zooming in on those aspects with full focus on ethereal clean vocals, while diving further into prog rock and krautrock as well, especially in the track Ritual Circle. Zombi was a band that popped into my mind as well while listening to the album. The drumming by Nick Yacyshyn is absolutely phenomenal, so many awesome creative rhythms and percussive layering.

strangely enough, 'dream weapon' reminds me of last chance to reason after they dropped their crazy style of 'lvl.1' and moved onto making prog metal. maybe it's the vocals or the fact that the tracks are longer and much more atmospheric now

New Genghis Tron is more Zombi than Dillinger. Not a bad album, but honestly not really what I wanted at all.

Welcome fucking back, boys. Yeah, the new sound is different, but I dig it. It probably also helps that these guys were from my hometown and actually made it back in the day.

Yeah if the entire new album is going to be like this, I'm going to be disappointed.

Yeah... The same old problem bands don't want to rebuild a reputation, fame and everything so when they come back they do it but with completely different songs, structure and music style. Meh.

But when a band completely changes that's usually a wonderful or a horrible thing.

Yeah, no Grind anymore... I still didn't listened to the whole new album but I guess that's a little bit disappointing.

I won't pretend the grind is coming back but even without they still have that sound that took Board Up The House to another level.

I love Genghis Tron being back but I'm not a big fan of the Baroness / Cynic esque sound on the single. Hope it grows. As much as I respect bands right to change on every album it does sting if the fantastic aggression of Board Up The House is but a distant memory on the future album.

New album 'Dream Weapon' out on Relapse Records March 26th. Pre-orders are live with shirts, cd's, vinyl, etc. Title track single is out today for streaming. Taken from Wikipedia: "This return also saw the addition of a drummer named Nick Yacyshyn; the first drummer Genghis Tron has ever had. Founder and vocalist Mookie Singerman did not partake in the band's resumption and he was replaced by Tony Wolski."
