Free Music Review: a scary earnestness to their lampoon craft
Hit: 2 Stars
After a bad joke--a song that isn't really a song--and some goof intros by the band, somehow one knows one's in for self-parody. Love You To Death isn't half bad, with some impassioned cliches being slung around, though it is of preposterous length. Be My Druidess (wonder if he tries that in bars) is a buzzy chomp-at-the-bit, complete with hokey voice distortions and fribulating effects. The song is virtually destroyed as soon as the singer starts promising that he'll "do anything to make you come". Green Man follows and it is alright; the guy can sing, it's just a matter of what he's wrapping his mouth around, which is nothing but half-baked imagery. The next song Red Water is some invoking atmospherics wasted on a tale of terror during the holiday season. But hey, it manages to work a jingly christmas classic into the mix, so who's not having fun?Another song of epic length and I could go on and on. However, when you start hearing lyrics more and more in the vein of "My girlfriend's girlfriend, she's my girl too" or "now like a bird she flew away" alongside stock guitar solos and interconnecting said-same keyboarding, it gets trying. To be fair, these guys do have a scary earnestness to their lampoon craft. This results in some bursts of honest music--flowing keyboard shadings or guitar grit--that unfortunately, only serves to make the laughable all the more laughable.
Josh, Kenny, Johnny and Peter (no last names here) make up Type O Negative, with a guest appearance by the Bensonhoist Lesbian Choir.
