I'm on song 8 and so far I like 3 songs...guess which ones?
Okay, here's what I think:
The Good: Short songs. Long songs are overrated. That's one reason I love Cheap Trick. Not every song needs to be 4-6 minutes long. I also like the humor in some of the lyrics. The vocalist is good and does remind me of Freddie Mercury (although Freddie is still the best). They do have a Queen sound somewhat. Overall, I liked 4 songs, Count Me Out, Second Floor, Oh Lord and Evil Thoughts (the latter reminds me of Manic Street Preachers, which Niels also introduced us to). My favorite of these 4 is Oh Lord. It is a really good song.
The Bad: All of the other songs were close to filler for me. They weren't terrible, but I think the songwriting needs to improve a bit. That's really all that's bad for me.
Cover Art: B Plus
Band Look: D (dudes are a little weird looking)
Overall: I'll give it a B Minus.
I guess my prediction sucks, well some of it anyway. I can see Scott's tryin' to be funny. Give it a listen instead, Scott.
Wanna-be Angel is filler!!!???? You gotta be kiddin'!!. It's the best song on the album. Why it's not a hit, is beyond me. But I see you like my other 2 favorites, Evil Thoughts and Second Floor.
B minus must mean better than average, and buy it but only maybe.
I'll give it an A minus, almost a most own.
I will be following this band, that's for sure.
Oh, and by the way: 3 of the 4 best CD's I've bought in 2011, are from 2010. That sucks.
ah, c'mon it was funny.... right?
PS: I will have to listen on Friday.
Yes, especially the line about forty/eleven cents.
Grading Scale for RJhog:
A Minus - A Plus ---Must own.
B- B Plus ---On the fence, but may purchase.
C Plus - B Minus ---I can listen to it, I like a few songs, but probably wouldn't buy it.
C or Lower --- Don't like it (the more I don't like it, the lower the grade).
I'll give this a...............thumbs up. All because it's different and there's horns! Gotta love horns in rock! When was the last time you heard horns in rock (except Chicago)? Horns are almost as good a wocka wocka geetar.
Got a strong The Darkness vibe on this one. Just a fun, fun album.
I've gotta learn that pose in the picture. I can do that around work all day long. Maybe then people will like me?
