The Vintage Caravan returned in 2018 with another\nalbum.\u00a0 The best way I can describe The\nVintage Caravan is like when you really want to like a restaurant.\u00a0 You go once, and it\u2019s ok but you wanna give\nthem another chance.\u00a0 You go a 2nd<\/sup>\ntime, and it\u2019s still ok.\u00a0 Then, finally,\nyou go a 3rd<\/sup> time and it\u2019s no better than the previous visits and\nyou just have to decide that it\u2019s just never going to get any better than\nthis.\u00a0 Well, that, my friends, is the\nVintage Caravan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first word that comes to my mind when trying to describe VC\u2019s latest album Gateways is \u201cbasic.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s like, basic white boy psych rock music played by guys with zero conviction and zero gusto.\u00a0 It’s basic music for basic people.\u00a0 \u201cSet Your Sights\u201d opens the album with what feels like a slight tap on the shoulder making you look over and see nothing.\u00a0 \u201cThe Way\u201d follows and a minute into this song the band sounds nearly as bored as I do.\u00a0 I mean, even the riff for this song is so dull and repetitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As this point, I could just start listing songs just to\nprove the fact that I actually listened to this.\u00a0 \u201cOn the Run\u201d started out promising but\nquickly went downhill from there and \u201cAll This Time\u201d sounds like the guitar\nplayer just picked up a guitar for the first time 2 days before recording this\nalbum.\u00a0 \u201cNebula\u201d was a good attempt at\nsomething a bit Floyd-esque but again, due to the lack of ability to craft a\ngood song just falls flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I said it once and I\u2019ll say it again.\u00a0 The Vintage Caravan is just basic as\nfuck.\u00a0 The band and their latest album\nGateways lacks any kind of excitement, fire, drive, or originality.\u00a0 Let\u2019s go back to the restaurant\ncomparison.\u00a0 Why would you have a burger\nat McDonalds when you can go to Ted\u2019s Montana Grill and get the best fucking\nBison Burger you\u2019ll ever have in your fucking life?\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n So musically, why even bother listening to the Vintage\nCaravan when you\u2019ve Graveyard, Kadaver, Lucifer, and countless other bands who\nare top shelf shit.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How these guys are\nable to keep making albums is beyond me but at this point, I think it\u2019s safe to\nsay that it will never get any better.\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Vintage Caravan returned in 2018 with another album.\u00a0 The best way I can describe The Vintage Caravan is like when you really want to like a restaurant.\u00a0 You go once, and it\u2019s ok but you wanna give them another chance.\u00a0 You go a 2nd time, and it\u2019s still ok.\u00a0 Then, finally, you go a 3rd time and it\u2019s no better than the previous visits and you just have to decide that it\u2019s just never going to get any better […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":-1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[277],"tags":[1389],"class_list":["post-17885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","tag-the-vintage-caravan"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17885"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17885\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19630,"href":"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17885\/revisions\/19630"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.southeastofheaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
