Free Music Notes for Louden Up Now
Free Music Review: This album is FUN
Hit: 5 Stars
Chk Chk Chk are a band that merges the funkiness of club music with the cockiness and carelessness of rock, and they manage to do it without sounding overly pretentious. Their music is loved for its strong beats, deep bass and crazy-sounding half-singing-half-speaking vocals, with no particular emphasis on lyrics.
A lot of the time you won't even understand what is being shouted out, it may even be gibberish for all we know, but Nic Offer's voice complements Chk Chk Chk's music perfectly. His wild but half-spoken style is what gives them their charming spark of craziness. Most of the time he sounds like he's on the verge of going completely bezerk. He likes to shorten words as he wishes or stretch them over the rhythm of the song in the most unusual manner, and that has sort of become Chk Chk Chk's trademark. It gives every song a bit of a crazy genius feel.
In fact it is songs from this album, such as "Hello? Is this thing on?" and "When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Gets Krazee" which seem to take that "crazy" vocal/verbal style to the extreme.
Louden Up Now is often referred to as Chk Chk Chk's "political" album, but don't let that delude you. This isn't U2 or Manic Street Preachers. There will be no pretentious "weltschmerzen" ballads and no serious political messages here. There are a few political remarks in "Pardon My Freedom" and "Shitscheisemerde", but considering the context they are in (lots, lots of swearing), I don't see how one could take them seriously. They strike me more as self-ironic half-bothered joke songs. Ultimately, Chk Chk Chk don't need to write poetry of impeccable intellect, what their fans really appreciate them for is what's in the background - the powerful rhythm, deep warm bass, the "jamming" that will make walls dance.
For those who have bought Myth Takes and are wondering what this is like, I think the fairest thing to say would be that it's a little darker and a little crazier, but no slower. You will dance. :)
