Free Music Review: Redd Kross - Show World
Hit: 5 Stars
People laugh when I tell them that "Show World", by LA's finest Redd Kross, is the greatest album of all time. This is for several reasons: the album is too recent, it's not by Radiohead, and that it is too "lightweight" or "bubblegum" to be a serious contender for such a status. Bubblegum it may be, but never before has an album been available that is truly deserving of full marks like this album is. "Show World" plays like a greatest hits collection to rival even "Abba Gold" in terms of truly uplifting, passionate music pop music. It may seem an absurd statement to be accepted the average ignorant sceptic, but this truly is THE ultimate pop LP. Potential Criticism 1:- track one is a cover version - how unoriginal. Response:- Pretty Please Me simply contains the best chorus written by a human being, regardless of who performs it. Potential criticism 2:- On "Show World", Jeff McDonald has become a shameless Lennon copyist. Response:- JEFF McDONALD IS MORE TALENTED THAN JOHN LENNON, RAY DAVIES & PAUL McCARTNEY PUT TOGETHER BY GENETIC SCIENTISTS. There really isn't that much else left to say, except that there really is no excuse for not at least wanting to own this fantastic LP. It really is the greatest album of all time.
Show World Poster
The L.A. based cult pop-punk band's 1997 album includes 'You Lied Again', 'Mess Around', & 'Follow The Leader'. 13 tracks. Island.Redd Kross's epitaph will one day read, "In the wrong place at the wrong time." Though they've achieved much critical acclaim (as well as some occasional, well-deserved criticism for stinkers like Third Eye) and were almost huge stars, their timing and luck have been impeccably awful. What could have been their first breakthrough in the mid-'80s, the brilliant Neurotica, was marred by distribution problems from their failing label, Big Time. Their jump to Atlantic was equally disastrous with the release of the horrendous Third Eye. The band finally put out one of its greatest records, Phaseshifter, on Mercury, and absolutely no one noticed--except for Stone Temple Pilots, who shamelessly aped Redd Kross in their hit "Big Bang Baby." Unfortunately, Show World will probably not improve the band's fate. While it is a decent followup to Phaseshifter, it lacks that album's grit and soaring Beatles-esque harmonies. It is a pleasantly solid record of Cheap Trick-like pop--hard yet sweet--but most of the songs tread well-worn territory, and many of the hooks have become a little rote. Though Redd Kross have certainly achieved a lot in their more-than-15 years together, with Show World they may have just run out of gas. With their luck they'll probably make their best album ever two years after electronica rules the music industry. --Adem Tepedelen
