TRAPEZOID STOMP
Highlights from the album? Laugh in the Dark by the Invisible Eyes is nothing but highlights as far as I am concerned. “All killer, no filler” as the saying goes. There are three very short instrumental passages, “YMA”, “Trapezoid Stomp” and “Whiskey Vampire”; the latter track barely runs 30 seconds, but the world would definitely be a sadder place if it did not exist, let me tell you. “Trapezoid Stomp” sounds a little like a first draft of the last and best song, “That Old Song . . .”; there is that same “Dum-da-dum-da-dum-da-da-dum-dum” beat. “Monster Beat” starts with a smear of sound that could have been a defect on the CD, but I guess it is supposed to be like that.
