Classic Rock Bottom

Prediction:

1) You'll like the album cover

2) Most won't like the music

With that said, I have no clue why I have this album. I'm thinking I was trolling thru allmusic.com and saw that this band was similar to a band I like so I decided to pick this up. Other than that possibility, I'm still totally clueless what drove me to buy this and what's driving me now to post it for folks to give it a "spin".

This album, titled "Benson Burner", came out stateside in 2003 and is actually re-recordings of song from their previous two albums. So is this a greatest hits album or just a regular album? Got me. Don't know and don't care, still wondering why I have this.....

I guess it's kinda metal, maybe alternative, possibly garage rock. Quite geetar driven with the singer sounding, well, odd. I can't describe it I'm going to steal a quote from allmusic.com: (his voice) "sounds kind of like a goat that has learned to speak English with a drunken Southern accent". It's not unintelligible, just odd. Sounds like he's singing through a piece of paper to me, but what do I know. 

So there you go, a band you probably never heard of, with songs you'll probably hate. And that's what I'm here for.

Here are my thoughts as they came to me ...

 

  • You are the only one who owns this besides the actual artist and their immediate family.
  • What the ... ?!
  • I cant think of anything to describe these vocals
  • This isnt very good at all...
  • The song that shall remain unnamed, I hope when he mentions "teenage" he's referrring to those of ages 18 or 19, you know, for legal reasons.
  • Robot tourist...  That sounds like a good description for this music too
  • Have you ever listened to this all the way through?  If you answer yes, what did you take to get through it?
  • Did Fisher Price make the keyboards they use?
  • I dont buy it.  My thougths exactly!
  • I hear no such thing as Heavy Riffage
  • And so ends Ted's Excellent adventure!

 

I have to admit to not being able to listen this in full, I had to skip around and even go back and make sure of what I heard.  This is the strangest LAOTW I remember hearing, at least you could of gave us the obligatory hot girl photo...

Explain to me WHY I BOUGHT THIS???? I don't hate it, but there MUST have been a reason.

And I thought the album cover was as good as a hot girl photo...

And yes, I did listen to it all the way thru before posting it. I was not under the influence of anything at all. I swear.

Scott, your thoughts are beautiful! What a brilliant mind you have, to be able the exract so much, from so little.

ummm...  thanks?! 

I found no redeeming qualities, during the course of sampling this offering. Although, I think I identified the distinct vocal style, as that of Brak, from Space ghost Coast To Coast. 

Brak!

Yep, this wasn't very good.  I will say that it's not the worst thing I've ever heard.

Lost or Forgotten, would be very fitting!

 

Jon is enjoying this!

But wait! The album cover is kinda cool, right???

I think it's trying to say, in basic terms.....The guitar player's hot!.......or maybe, the guitar player's on fire!  But, what it's really saying is....You will get burnt for buying this album & while listening to it,  you will experience great pain!

And that's bad?
