Free Music Notes for Blackout
Free Music Review: Not Up to Par
Hit: 3 Stars
I LOVE (hed) p.e. I really do. But I just have to say that this album falls short of their other two, especially the first cd. What first attracted me to (hed) was that they were unpredictable, clever, bad-ass attitude. Broke was a good album, but I think they sacrified their crazy style for more "solid" sondwriting, whatever that means. Blackout is a good album, and will appeal to people who want a kind of quirky punkish sound. But it doesn't do justice for (hed). They decided that they needed to get lay off on their hip-hop sound, because they thought that "rap-metal" was going out of style, which is completely retarded, because music is music, not trends. You know, I hate to say it, but it sounds like (hed) might just be selling out. But, you know what, I have faith that their next album will be like old school (hed) but mabye even better. The only song on Blackout that sounds anything like their old stuff is "Crazy Life", which is actually pretty good. I would recommend this cd to hardcore (hed) fans and people who liked the song "Blackout", because most of the other songs on this album sound similar. But next time (hed) releases a new album, I'll still be first in line.
Blackout Poster
There's something genuinely interesting about (hed) Planet Earth. Rather than simply singing about being different, they actually attempt to break from convention. That spirit is what makes Blackout a fascinating album. Though nearly all the 14 tracks kick off into a metal frenzy at some point, they're wildly varied in their pace and feel. "Crazy Life," begins with sinister Wu-Tang keyboards, then rips into a raucous chorus, before a hard-hitting rap about sex on the road leads to a screaming rock crescendo. "Flesh and Bone" features vocalist Jahred conjuring lost souls at midnight crossroads, while the shuffling "Other Side" is cushioned by a soft 1970s haze. Elsewhere pop, soul, reggae, and folk slip into the mix, making the band's histrionic outbursts all the more effective. Jahred's lyrics, too, are above the norm, if a bit too self-focused. --Dominic WillsAlternative Rock Music CDs
