OH MY GAWD!!
Anyway, this movie, tho not overly interesting or creative, still kept me thinking until the end, and managed to sustain my interest, despite it not being a typical movie i'd enjoy. I give it a 7. Worth a rental on a slow night i'd say.
The Electric Six have just released their third album, Switzerland. Their music is typically 'fun', poppy, guitar and beat-driven disco-rock heavy with 'sex' themes. Laughable sex themes. Great stuff. =)
Their first album was fantastic, the second one lacked depth but was still pretty bopping...this one almost seems to have more depth, but is lacking in the punchiness that really sets them off. The tunes are generally pretty catchy, and the lyrics are silly as ever, and some lines are fantastic...tho it just doesn't seem to come together as well as the first album...
Some songs leave me wondering what the hell is going on, like 'Infected Girls' and 'Germans in Mexico'. Seriously! And 'Pink Flamingo's'...?? Seriously, it's so bad you have to love it!
Lot's of great sounds tho, they know how to make good sounding tunes and even if the lyrics are not something that you get a kick out of, the rest of the tune usually has some neat draw.
This album is prolly only worth a 6/10 in the 'real world', but in Noisyland it gets a 7/10, just because they're the Electric Six!
Just checked over at Pitchfork to see if they reviewed it...nope..tho oddly, Senor Smoke is their #3 'Most Read' review..haha
