Free Music Review: Even Worse than The First
Hit: 1 Stars
Come on Tim, why are you doing this? you are a musical genious! you played in Operation Ivy! come on man! what's happening! This album, the second album in the history of the transplants is even worse than the first, congrajulations! I didn;t think that was possible! Everything is bad here. Tim went even lower than RANCID, trying to make his voice sound "punk" and ruined his vocal work. It is all a bunch of screaming, croaking, and clicking. Instrumentally, this album may be amongst the worse ever made. Infact, their drummer sounds like a beginner who's been playing for like a year. Tim's guitar level stays about the same, but the bass player is teribble. Tim Armstrong used to play music with exellent musicians, amongst them Matt Freeman, who in my opinion is one of the best of our time. Now the bass player, who's name I haven;t bothered to look up is just as bad as the drummer. I shamefully rate this album 1 star and pray that one day Tim Armstrong will once again take up his guitar, realize what a loser he's bieng right now, remember Operation ivy, and once again become kick ass.
PEACE OUT!
Haunted Cities Poster
"A few years ago, when Tim, Travis and myself were finishing up the first Transplants album, we weren't sure what was going to happen. You wouldn't believe how many people told us that they "don't get it" or that they're "not sure what people will think". To tell you the truth, we didn't really care. But here we are, a few years later, with a new Transplants album-Haunted Cities. I've always had a hard time describing our records, being as though all 3 of us have different backgrounds all 3 of us live different lives, but what I can tell you is that Haunted Cities is unlike anything else. With guest appearances by the Boo-Yaa Tribe, Rakaa from Dilated Peoples, B-Real and Sen Dog from Cypress Hill, people ain't gonna know what hit 'em. And to tell you the truth, we still don't care."-Rob Aston, TransplantsRarely is a side project equal to the member's primary outfit, but the Transplants subvert that long and wisely held opinion. Named because they are indeed musicians transplanted from other bands--Blink 182's skin beater Travis Barker, Rancid's guitarist and singer, Tim Armstrong, and former AFI roadie Rob Aston make up the line-up--but much to their credit they didn't bring much baggage from their rather high profile musical units except maybe just the smallest throwback to mid-career Rancid on the confrontational and rather bleak "American Guns." But that's really a creative blip, instead the band members display a contagious and clubby party ethic, rather like the Stone Roses before the end of Madchester years with a buzzy menacing guitar and some superb Keith Moon-ian drumming underpinning everything. Instead of promoting punk revivalism, "Haunted Cites" is a compendium of what the band members listen to on their off hours, fusing their love of dancehall, metal, Philly soul, reggae and hip-hop into this rhythmically solid and lyrically adventurous follow-up to their standout 2002 debut. Any band that can name check Blackie Lawless in their first song, and then go on to create such luscious vintage soul, sounding like a reincarnated Stylistics on the chillingly beautiful "What I Can't Describe" deserves to be on the express elevator to the top of the charts. And that's even before you take into account their sardonic paean to hedonism on "Gangsters and Thugs," with it's charmingly bone-headed chorus "Gangsters and thugs/Criminals and hoods/Some of my friends sell records/Some of my friends sell drugs." --Jaan Uhelszki
