Free Music Notes for Becoming X

Free Music Review: Mmm.
Hit: 5 Stars

Track 1 - "Low Place Like Home" A fun litle song with lush beats and plenty of bass. Features such exuberant lyrics as, "Crucify yourself, in a low place like home."

Track 2 - "Tesko Suicide" TS is an electric, hyperactive song detailing how suicide has become chic. A member of the group issued a remark stating, "They might as well sell kits down at the local [Tesko grocery store]." I like the song, but I do not like its message.

Track 3 - "6 Underground" is a catchy, ethereal lullaby of a pop tune. According to the Sneaker Pimps themselves, it is about the overwhelming constrictiveness of small town life. The last beat of this song is the first beat of the next, a neat effect.

Track 4 - "Becoming X" is a dirty song, yet it is clean at the same time. A filthy booming electronic beat resides under the song, but above it is a clean and neat piano section gibinjg a generally extraterrestrial feel.

Track 5 - "Spin Spin Sugar" Many people have purchased "Becoming X" on this song's merits alone. Features samples of a Russian sounding woman screaming and moaning.

Track 6 - "Post-Modern Sleaze" is a slow moving, acoustic guitar driven track. It also has portions played on a rather Middle Eastern type wind instrument.

Track 7 - "Waterbaby" Waterbaby is a good song, but it is one of the weakest tracks on "Becoming X." A sparse sounding semi-ballad.

Track 8 - "Roll On" is a lewd pop song. I love it.

Track 9 - "Wasted Early Sunday Morning" is an acoustic driven song moving at a mid-tempo. It is one of my favorite songs on this album.

Track 10 - "Walking Zero" is a great song, my very favorite on the album. It has everything - meaningful lyrics, a violin solo, and the electronic beats that drive this album.\

Track 11 - "How Do" This is a cover of a song with the same title, sung by a very nude actor in the film "The Wicker Man" A haunting, other wordly ballad

Track 12 (on the U.S. version) - "6 Underground (Nellee Hooper Edit)" This is a remix of "6 Underground," obviously, which takes the 1996 hit to new heights.

Overall, this is *much* better than their second album, "Splinter." Kelli Dayton's voice wraps around you like a blanket, but the whiney male vocals of the second album leave you disinterested.
