Album Review: Peachfuzz - Everything Takes Time

When bands claim a sense of nostalgia towards a musical era that I frankly consider to be one that represented a dearth of innovation and talent then I suppose that is a bad sign. However, this is not a reason to be critical of a band – in fact it is probably true that our current era will be held in equally low esteem by pseudo-critics 10 years down the line. However, Peachfuzz have allayed my fears that I would deliver an unfair review purely based on their press-sheet by creating an album that I can criticise purely on its own merits.

'Everything Takes Forever' is a weak album almost solely for the fact that Peachfuzz have written the same song 10 times, and the initial formula didn’t work that well to begin with. There is a flipside to this assessment however, something I have acknowledged in other reviews. Some may say that Peachfuzz have simply carved themselves a niche and created an identity, their songs don’t sound the same, they simply sound like Peachfuzz songs.
