One Minute Tink Reviews . . .
Brain Failure American Dreamer
How cute, it's Rancid from Japan! I know it sounds very sarcastic but really they are. They have been definitly influenced by Rancid. More power to them, but some originality would be nice, if that can be achieved these days. (Probably Rancid got the same kind of treatment when the debuted because they were compared to the Clash, which I never really agreed with.)
If you like Rancid; you will like Brain Failure.
All American Rejects Move Along
Pretty much the title of the album sums it up . . . Move Along! I tried. I just couldn't hang. Not saying it's horrible music, I just can't get into it.
John Doe Forever Hasn't Happened Yet
O.K. I'm gonna be biased on this one. I love X, so I love John Doe. I think he is great musician, actor, writer and all around good guy. I enjoyed this CD. Very mellow and melodical. Enjoy!
Harbortown Saints Loaded To The Gunwhales
I really liked it. Reminded me of the Graveyard Farmers.
River City Rebels Hate To Be Loved
Well, let's just say Hate to be Hate. I hate the front cover of this album. I hate pretty much any of the pictures on the CD artwork. Basically one big porn star orgy. Funny side note; The one pic with all the guys hanging around w/ half naked strippers but there is one guy that is sitting on the end that doesn't seem want any part of it. Anyways, they remind me of Poison except for better tattoos, which look fake by the way. As for the music, it was actually decent Pop/Punk. They changed it up a bit with horns and violins, but I wouldn't say anything was memorable. One word: Manufactured
Venus the World S/T
Love the artwork. It's so 70's. Not the best photoshop work but I think they wanted it that way, well I hope they did. Unfortunately, they sounded like every other band that is out there right now. I don't know what you call it EMO Screamo, music that is very melodic and beautiful, then screaming in the next verse, it's getting old.
