Hello my friends
i need some time off some unnerving work here at home.
I will use this time off to comment and rate (omfg i hate that but hey)
this new Sonik Yooff album:
First of all i have to say i'm totally MESMERIZED that they could create such a mindmelding grower. This is no WM or ATL. But i totally sucked it in and it's doing me good literally.
1) sacred trickster: wow. This rocks my cock. Wild dual gtr action here. Terribly addictive and to the point. At first i thought it lacked the usual skronk but i get it elsewhere so there. perfect start. >>> 8,5
2) anti orgasm: i'm sooooo into this. rebellious semi feministic ranting in there. The structure is kind of out there, which i really like. I like what i call the "fucking part" when they both go ha hu ha hu; sexy. The outro is gorgeous. Funky bass . merci mark Ibold. >>> 9
3) Leaky Lifeboat: gotta love the harmonics, the funky wah, the upbeatness. the lalalalas >>> 8
4) Antenna: oh well what can i say. Gorgeous chorus, nice new gtr tones courtesy of Lee. Very pretty drumming too. This one is a total win. >>> 9
5) What we know: classic Lee singing. Not a fan at first. This one grew on me relatively quick cuz it's got a weird power to it. It's funny cuz this bass is not SY. Nice track. >>> 7,5
6) Caming the snake: gotta like the skronk here. Like the Thurston break too. Bass is all dissonant. I like Kim's "aoaoaoao". Didn't like the live version, but i get it now. Raw and heavy.>>> 7,5
7) Poison Arrow: Weird gtr tones!! Weird Lou Reed feel!!!! Nice layers of static in the background. I like the way Kim and T.bone sing together in this song. Very nice song, very VU, yes; pretty: >>> 7,5
8) Malibu gas Station: I nearly cried like a sissy when i listened to the intro. Lee must have listened to some ATL beforehand. The rest is "Sunday"-ish. Me likey a lot. The way the song bounces and gets really catchy after a couple of minutes (instrumental part w/solo). I would have loved a come back of the intro as an outro and some light drumming, but maybe that was too obvious, o well amazing >>> 9,5!!
9) Thunderclap: very Psychic Hearts. Nice dual gtr halfway through. Efficient track>>> 8
10) No way: very Psychic also. This one goes pretty well with Thundeclap, Like the solo.>>>8
11) Walking Blue: at first i thought it didn't sound like an SY song at all. But that's because this song is already a fucking CLASSIC. Wow, what can i say? Outstanding songwriting and gtrs. >>> 9,5
12) Massage: whoever said this was TOTA-like was completely right. VERY nice outro to the LP. Very subtile. Nice layers>> 9
Once again, i'm sorry but NOT ONE BAND IN THE WORLD can put out an album THAT strong after 30 years of rock n roll. I'm totally in awe.
there.
