Free Music Review: quick empty rock
Hit: 2 Stars
Speed guitars and anthemic chants aside, one realizes the Bouncing Souls just don't have much to say. And it's disappointing. The big, dumb hooks wear off and you get the feeling they're just a bunch of lazy, idle hedonists. Dedicated to music? Yeah. But just how good IS the music? I mean, listen to it, most songs are about themselves, each other, and getting drunk and partying. It was a party record for mid-90s teenagers. Don't be tricked into thinking they're social outcasts and rebels because honest they're just like everybody else. They like to drink and party and rock. Kind of sounds like KISS or something eh? Which would be fine, if there was some social consciousness here.
Now, in their support they still manage to sound raw and gritty after all these years and they haven't become superstars (although their stuff is sold everywhere). In this way, you can appreciate the dude-next-door vibe all their songs give off. It's genuine and down-to-earth, but there's not much beyond that. If you're looking for a good time, stop here. If you like some meat to go along with your potatoes, move along.
