music update (kinda…)

Usually, I write a post with a list of CD I recently acquired with a short review of mine. Well, that’s “usually”, but I haven’t done so in a while, so I kind of lost track of the CD I reviewed (or what my review would be), so I won’t list everything, but just the most important ones:

  • Red Harvest, Bloodsimple: Great, Impressive, Aggressive. It just rocks. This is just grand: The first song with lyrics from Jim Morrison, or Dead Man Walking which makes me want to kill someone (or at least to get a try at the mosh pit if I ever cross them on stage), and the drummer is great (since they seem to be a Spinal Tap story hiding, I wonder if it sounds the same live). So many headbanging songs! My only regret would be that sometimes the singer sounds like James Hetfield and I ain’t no ‘tallica fan!
  • Chicken Noodles II, Buckethead & Travis Dickerson. I know, I sound like a Bucket fan, but really, this one is different. Is that a bird? A plane? Superman? Hendrix? No, that’s Buckethead! It sounds so bluesy and soulful that at first I could hardly believe my ears.
  • whatever, Paul Gilbert: He’s damn good. But it’s far better (or less cheesy) when he doesn’t sing, really.
  • Red Album, Baroness: Recent but vintage sounding, sometimes feeling like the doors gone metal. Weird but not that bad.

    There’s a “red” theme here. So it’s almost on-topic: “Red Snapper”, a “jazz, funk, jungle, trip-hop, hip-hop and breakbeat” fusion band. Albums in 96/99/2000 (Prince Blimey, Our aim is to satisfy, Making Bones), but recently reformed, with a EP release in oct 2008.

    @Ol: True! I had this thought too about the theme (just when clicking the “post” button and then it was gone)

    As for Red Snapper, in fact I already have a copy of Prince Blimey (reviewed in march).

    (one would wonder how I came across their name)
