Free Music Review: When it's time to party, we will party hard!
Hit: 5 Stars
So as you may or may not know by now, Andrew W.K. doesn't have the most complex lyrics around, but for his style of music, it doesn't really matter. The only thing you need to think about when listening to him is that "It's time to paaaarty!". So yes, every song is an anthem about feeling good and partying hard. And it's all done to the music of simple but awesome keyboard melodies, frenzies guitar chords, stadium rock drums and masculine vocals. From the playfulness of the opener "It's Time To Party", to the blazing opening guitar solo in "She Is Beautiful", this album is a great summer party album! It's all melodic hard rock with lots of energy and fun, and to me, that beats out a double-meaning political song anyday, even though I'm quite the Liberal, but whatever. Get it, rock out, and, like Andrew W.K. would put it, party till you puke! Thanks for the time, and peace.
I Get Wet Poster
Andrew W.K. has a mission--to dirty up rock & roll, literally and figuratively. And while that may seem a sizeable task for one man to shoulder, consider that the Michigan-reared screamer has devoted the whole of his debut album I Get Wet to ecstatic celebration of the id. It's a heck of an idea, and it's brought W.K. the fawning adoration of the British press who, after enduring years of ambient art-rock inspired by paranoia about technology (you know who we mean), are rushing to embrace W.K.'s credo that everyone should party till they puke. W.K. stays on theme throughout I Get Wet's 12 frenetic tracks--song titles like the aforementioned "Puke," "It's Time to Party," "Party Hard," and "Fun Night" pretty much make the point. But W.K.'s more-is-more approach holds true of the music too--it's cheesy new wave meets spiky metal but delivered with such self-conscious force that it's almost bubblegum. Think of the gargantuan riffs of "Detroit Rock City" smeared with Flock of Seagulls-style synth while some manic propagandist hollers himself hoarse over top. I Get Wet has one setting--loud--but not since the Stooges has unmitigated hedonism, and just plain headbanging, seemed like a plan. Mighty members of the three-finger devil salute fraternity, your soundtrack has arrived. --Kim Hughes2001 album for US rocker currently wowing them in the UK. Described as sounding like, 'Van Halen brawling with the Beastie Boys circa 'Licensed to Ill', with Elton John hammering away at the piano & Motley Crue spiking the drinks'. 12 tracks, including 'Party Hard', 'Party Til You Puke' & 'Don't Stop Living In The Red'.
A Buzz Band from Florida that Expounds a High Energy Attitude Toward Life and Feeling. 'i Get Wet' was Fashioned Out of the Literalblood, Sweat and Tears of It's Makers. Intensely Passionate in Feelings About Love, Excitement, Anger, Rage and Everything in Between.
