Minus the Bear's Planet of Ice marks the Seattle band's third full-length release (not counting three EPs and a remix album), and achieves an effect as spacious and blinding white as the landscape the title evokes

Minus The Bear are commonly known for their immense technical proficiency. The interplay between singer/rhythm guitarist Jake Snider and lead guitar prodigy Dave Knudson (yeah, he was in Botch for the people who need to know) is simply brilliant and lends to the claustrophobic, chilly character of the songs. everything MTB have done sonically in one song. It'll slay you without quarter, like most of this album, because Planet Of Ice owns, and it owns hard. You'll probably notice I haven't made any criticisms of this record.

Each of these pieces are vital in Minus the Bear's sound and without one it just wouldn't be the same. On Planet of Ice Snider has seemed to "evolve" along with the album itself. As for vocal talent, I don't think Snider's voice would be among the better singers, but his voice itself sets the mood of the music. Overall Impression - 9 01. Burying Luck - the opening song for Planet of Ice.

While not a huge sonic leap forward for Minus The Bear, Planet shows the band eager-and more than able-to take a deep breath and explore its emerging maturity and depth. 90. The tightly wound dance numbers are dancier ("Knights"); the slow sex jams are sexier ("White Mystery"); and new keyboardist Alex Rose gives the synths a much stronger role than ever before, both with brilliant countermelodies and sublime textures.

Planet of Ice, the band's third full-length, is by far their best album to date. The Seattle-based quintet may not be as fun as they used to be, but we saw that coming with 2005's Menos el Oso when they stopped using hilarious track names and took a darker lyrical and instrumental approach. Where Planet of Ice exceeds is in how it improves on the strides the band took to make Menos el Oso such a great album. Their arrangements continue to be spacious, ambient and moody, but this time around seem to carry themselves with a little more direction. One of the greatest aspects of Minus the Bear is that they're amazingly easy to listen to. All their work has been perfect summertime music, great to play on the dock at the cottage. However, the band has always allowed the listener to challenge themselves, and they do this even more with Planet of Ice.
