Bottom is far removed from the style of their past release. On you�rNext, they�ve got more in common with eclectic, experimental acts like Book of Knots. Some of the tracks are stripped down to the barest of essentials, accented by instruments not normally associated with this style of music. Intertwined with these more �traditional� style songs are experiments in feedback. It�s easy to dismiss these tracks as filler, but they in fact serve the purpose of keeping the listener off kilter. you�rNext isn�t background music. The arrangements are too complex and the music�s too engrossing for that. You�re taken on a journey with this album.

Amazing album! I know some will diagree, but I find similarities between this album and OM's Variations on a Theme in that most of the tracks are almost entirely comprised of just bass, drums and vocals... hardly any guitar.

Emerging from a dreamscape of feedback six feet deep, Bottom's sound twists and turns like an old saw wiseacre then digs into your head like a ritual from the Book of the Dead. Delivered with all the subtlety of the Grim Reaper, You�rNext tells us a gypsy lie using minor chords, soul wrenching howls and guitar tones that circles like ravenous buzzards.
