Back at the start of 2022 I helped a friend sell his record collection, and I spent about three months listening to a lot of the stuff he had, which was mainly from the early 90s, and a lot of bands that back then I wasn't really interested in. One such example is the band Senseless Things. I had friends that LOVED this band at the start of the 90s, but I was never really interested. But in 2022 I got really into the second album and then towards the end of the year I picked up the first album. And now, four years later, I've finally got around to the third album.
'Empire Of The Senseless' came out in 1993. Even though I wasn't particularly interested back then, I have a vague memory of it coming out, because it felt that my friends (who had all been into the band for a couple of years) weren't really bothered about it. I remember that they had a couple of singles released before this album dropped, and the newer songs sounded somehow different. At 17 or 18 years old, life is moving fast, and I guess that they all decided that the new Senseless Things sound wasn't really what they were looking for.
Everything about this record is different to the previous two, from the sound to the artwork. But it's a really good record. There is also a fourth album, which I haven't ever checked out. I heard the first song from it once and it sounded pretty terrible, so I filed it under 'avoid' in my mind... but after listening to this one again recently, I'm curious to go back and give it another go.
