Free Music Review: A Welcome Change of Pace
Hit: 5 Stars
Electric Six's first album, Fire, laid the groundwork for each album to come. The second album, Senor Smoke, changed things up a little bit, but was on the whole a less consistent album than the first. With the third album, Switzerland, Electric Six had moved on to a new label in which they would find more freedom than before. Without the pressure to make certain "radio hit" type of songs they were able to let their expression run free in the studio. I think this really shows on the album as they go in some directions that they have never done before.
The first noticeable thing to an Electric Six fan is that there are no songs with any form of the word Dance in the title which is a staple of most of all the albums previous to this and most after. That doesn't mean they have lost their sense of fun or their groove, but it does mean they tread new lyrical ground here which is a plus.
The album starts off with a slow bluesy song about the band in hell, which features Hitler on drums no less! Then they venture into what I feel is a more pop territory then they had ever done with I Buy The Drugs. For me this song really works and signified a turn to songs that are more keyboard/synthesizer driven. Slices of You is classic fun both lyrically and musically and Infected Girls has the type of chorus that makes Electric Six so fun. I think overall this is one of the strongest Electric Six albums without a weak track in the bunch.
Here are some lyrical highlights from the album:
" Increase the power [increase it!]
To a higher level
I like you better when you're possessed by the devil" From Infected Girls
"White DJ of Detroit
Black MC in Toyko
White girl in a black blockbuster video" - From There's Something Very Wrong With Us So Let's Go Out Tonight
"I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
'cos when I get a table you know damn well I get a table for two
Preheat the oven so you cook in your pants
I trained at the very best kitchens in france
My service is slow and I hope this doesn't offend you" From Slices of You
Switzerland Poster
Detroit's Electric Six offer up thirteen songs of all styles, sounds, genres, and themes. From the bouncy "I Buy The Drugs" to the Def Leppard/Journey-esque "Night Vision" to the super-smooth "Infected Girls", old school E6 mavens will find just the right amount of puerile yet groovy concoctions that make them want to become one with their aggression. It's a feel-good, drive-around-in-your-car-with-the-top-down summer staple.Alternative Rock Music CDs
