Free Music Review: Unpolished and Cluttered? That's why I like it!
Hit: 5 Stars
I live slightly off the radar so I have not been overtaken by indie media overload with this stuff. So what can I say? Influences? Bis, Pavement, Belle and Sebastian, and any number of poppy punk bands before that meant Green Day. Sprawling, sloppy, and inventive in a very precise way. They throw it all at the wall and it sticks. The lyrics are very smart, the mood infectious, and the girl/boy vocal interplay keeps things alive. This stuff lifts you up with its rough and sweet riffs, feeds your arty side with odd instrumental touches and makes you chuckle with its smart turns of phrase and witty asides. I may be outside the demographic and it runs a little long, I like this easily over anything I hear on the radio. So I'm in...bring on more! One of my favorites of 08!Free Music Review: Garbage
Hit: 1 Stars
Actually, this wouldn't be a bad piece of work if the band, in their writing, playing and singing, hadn't included so much pure, unadulterated suck. There's only so much suck you can put into music before people will begin to notice. 50% suck, 60% suck, well, people tolerate percentages like that all the time. But when you get up over 98% or so, people notice and start to kind of focus on the suck. That's the problem here. This is easily 99% suck, and you really notice how much suck there is.Free Music Review: great
Hit: 4 Stars
I heard their EP working at the college radio station last year, and I was blown away. When their album came out I looked into it and was shocked that it was just as good. I was disappointed that some songs were released already. You!Me!Dancing! has been on every release of theirs. Some of the other songs were previously released on their EPs. I just wish their were more new songs on this CD cause I really like their sound.
I definitely recommend it to anybody who likes fast paced music that just makes you just want to get up and jump around.
Free Music Review: Upbeat, dual-vocals, fun lyrics
Hit: 4 Stars
I'll keep this short and sweet -- HOLD ON NOW, YOUNGSTER has some great hooks and the vocals are fast and furious. The two singers make each song unique. Great little bursts of singing (see "This is how you spell..." for an example).
I've been enjoying this on my long car rides up the NJ Turnpike and it keeps that drab landscape interesting. Favorite tracks: 2, 3, 5, 9.
Free Music Review: Power to Los Campesinos
Hit: 5 Stars
Los Campesinos! debut is a spectacular collection that comes bursting full throttle with noisy, danceable punk rock rhythms and clever quotable lyrics. The point seems less to produce something slick or highly sophisticated, but rather a raw visceral music. Guitars, violin, glockenspiel, shouted lyrics, wild tempo changes- sure it all can be a little over the top and even strident at times, but for me it is great fun, and something I've listened to over and over in the past month (since downloading elsewhere). "You!Me!Dancing!" is an infectious dance number that starts with a slow build-up for the first two minutes before exploding into the foot stomping melody. Another personal favorite is "Knee Deep At ATP", a well-written song about being the B-side in a relationship. Other highlights include "Death to Los Campesinos", "Don't Tell Me To Do The Math(s)", and "This Is How You Spell HAHAHA, etc.". Definitely good for a laugh, to pick up your mood, or just to hear some loud, wild music.
