The For Carnation kept McMahan's whispered, slightly menacing vocal effects, but lost the explosive elements. The For Carnation is the sound of a band who are constantly about to explode, teetering between silence and fear. That they never achieve that catharsis may be why they are less coveted a band than McMahan's former incarnation -- but this does not mean they are any less rewarding a listen. - Jon PruettPost-Rocken720Mon, 30 Nov 2009 20:05:34 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63124&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fthe-for-carnation%2Fplaylists.rss The For Carnation were formed in the early '90s by Brian McMahan, following the demise of Slint.
