Free Music Notes for You're Awful, I Love You
Free Music Review: Beautiful... as always boys!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been a Ludo fan since right Broken Bride came out. I fell in love with their music through their self titled albums hit Hum Along. You're Awful I Love You was a perfect follow up to Broken Bride. The passion and angst and darkness from BB and the light hearted humor from the self titled album are all rolled into to one bright orange packages that doesn't fail to amuse, move, or entertain.
Topeka is by far my favorite of the album. The lyrics and melodies charm you from the start. "I found God in a catalytic converter in Topeka on a Monday night." Lake P. houses the essence of Broken Bride but never fails to keep you amused as the narrator goes of on a wild tale about swamp creatures and the loss of friends in a lake.
Congrats Ludo!
Free Music Review: So close and yet so...Good Charlotte
Hit: 4 Stars
I love music, let that be said. I'm always looking for the next album to inspire me in my own creative endeavors. I heard "Love Me Dead" by Ludo on KROQ, in Los Angeles. I instantly loved the song, hearing notes of My Chemical Romance mixed with slight hints of Good Charlotte combined with...complete originality. Despite the fact that I'm normally a music fan who must be won over in order to purchase, I did buy the "You're Awful, I love You" album by Ludo to hear more. I'm not sure how I feel. There are moments of brilliance, as in the first track, "Love me Dead." In "Lake Ponchartrain" those slight, demonic, dark moments that are hinted at in "Love me Dead" become way more obvious and I was sold. In "The Horror of Our Love", I became a fan. I adore the dark, sardonic, cool and unapologetic moments of drama and goth rock that pop up throughout this album. Yet they're not enough. The CD has moments of brilliance; as I said, the CD alludes to hints of "My Chemical Romance" without the poseur personality of Gerard Way. There are songs that hit the chords or darkness, speaking to the Goth witin. These are the moments of genius, moments that should be stretched out, not sucked back into the void of crappy punk-lite music that Good Charlotte, Bowling for Soup or All American Rejects embodies. I think Ludo have the potential to reach for more, to find that dark-rock within but I think they're afraid of failure and so, at the pinicle of finding themselves, they become cowards, allowing their power chords and boring drum beats to define them instead. If they'd let themselves leak through, letting that bloody, beaten and awesome darkness come through, I think they could challenge My Chemical Romance, My Bloody Valentine and all of the other victors of Goth Rock for their crowns. I want Ludo to succeed but I really, really hope they realize their potential before they get sucked into the void of American-Idol land. Forget the poetic ballads, let the darkness ring forth!
Free Music Review: Fantastic Album. Very Entertaining and Fun
Hit: 5 Stars
Following up the epic "Broken Bride" EP, Ludo's "You're Awful, I Love You," is a fantastic album. The band has a wonderful mix of humor and sincerity that combine to create a very entertaining album. The songs cover topic such as a lake that eats people (Lake Ponchartrain), the conflict between physical and emotional desires (Mutiny Below), creepy stalkers (Go-Getter Greg) and drunkenly pining over an ex (Drunken Lament), just to name a few.
The songs are all catchy with lyrics ranging from silly, "I was driving out of there as fast as a Camry could!" to touching, "Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future, so you know what keeps me hanging around." The music is energetic and listeners just can't help but sing along to the catchy tunes. Without a doubt, this is one of the best albums I've listened to in months and months! I tried to think of a few of the standouts, but they're all too good to choose just one or two. Listen to the samples above for yourself and prepare to be impressed!
