BIMINI PUBLIC HOUSE 2010 W. 4th, 604733-7116. Twenty-four taps of rotating and
straight choices TITUS ANDRONICUS As well-reviewed as Titus Andronicus’s new The Most Lamentable Tragedy has been, it’s hard not to be disappointed. Why, fans of the American anti-rockers might ask? That’s simple: The Most Lamentable Tragedy isn’t The Monitor, Titus Andronicus’s insanely perfect release from 2010. Not to revisit ancient history, but The Monitor was a concept album connecting the American Civil War to the emotional traumas of singer Patrick Stickles. Evidently not lacking for ambition, Stickles goes back to the bigger-is-better blueprint with The Most Lamentable Tragedy, an old-school rock opera clocking in at an epic hour and a half. Over the course of 29 songs, Titus Andronicus—at the Biltmore on Saturday (October 3)—deals with the various miseries of growing up while trying to come to terms with only being young once. As proven by the album’s 79 out of 100 approval rating on Metacritic, The Most Lamentable Tragedy doesn’t lack for fans. Meanwhile, we’ll be the ones in the front row this weekend hoping to hear everything from The Monitor. That’s the great thing about going in ready to be disappointed—you’re practically guaranteed a good time.
