Now, I had being given the impression that this CD was going to be loud, so to do it justice, I turned my stereo up a fair way, pressed play, and stepped back to a safe distance. While I listened to it, I didn't look at the tracklisting, so as not to be prejudiced against any of the tracks, and (despite wanting to do so quite badly about 3/4 through) I didn't turn it down at all. Now, the first track I already knew and loved, and while I may have heard track 2 at some point, I was still pleasantly surprised when I realised what song it was, and it's a very interesting cover version. Track 3 was probably quite good too. Unfortunately, it all soon took a turn for a worse, now, if there's one genre of music I can't stand, it is "ROCK!" music (as opposed to just "rock" music), a genre virtually encapsulated by bands like AC/DC and Iron Maiden. I think track 6 might have been alright, but I tell you it came as quite a relief when the familiar sound of Feeder started playing. Now, I don't own any Feeder albums, but hearing this song, which I know faily well, made me think I should perhaps consider getting some. It also reminded be of this time when this girl (who I am, incidentally, very much in love with) fainted at a Feeder gig. Ah, memories... I don't think I liked the next track, but I did rather enjoy Auf Der Maur, but strangly didn't like the Pixies much. From then on I think it all got a bit "ROCK!" for my liking, I particularly remember what I think was the Stone Temple Pilots' song, having the terrible lyric "I'm smelling like a rose that someone gave me on my deathbed" or something, which later changed, presumably to really force the point home, to "I'm smelling like a rose that someone gave me on my fucking deathbed". How silly. The start of the Rob Zombie track came as quite a relief, and that, along with Rammstein, who I quite like, made for quite a nice end to the CD.
Now you must realise that when I talk about liking songs in the above paragraph, it is strictly within the confines of the type of music on the CD; I don't particularly like, enjoy or would choose to listen to that kind of music, but if I know that's what I'm going to be getting, I can appreciate some of it. I would say about half the songs on the CD I could listen to again, and I think that's not bad going. Also, in terms of mix-compiling, it was a pretty good job, in terms of how the end of one song flows into the start of the next, although I might have eased up a bit earlier at the end (not that Rob Zombie or Rammstein are particularly eased up tracks, though)
I'm quite liking what I've heard of the second CD, a review will be up soon!
ASturge:
Nice review. Its good that people are listening to things they would usually not hear.
I'm definatly going to get involved if there's another one of these...
I didnt think anybody would actually do it.... (*is a fool* )
Azathoth:
I received a mix of international (mostly) punk tunes from jeremy. I must say it is quite excellent. Nearly every artist on this disc is unfamiliar to me and that is saying something. The songs get by on more than the novelty of being international and obscure - many of them will make their way into my daily listening for some time. Faves include (but are not limited to) De Press: Monuments, Adaptatsiya: Zhin v politseiskom and Hang on the Box: No Sexy. Jeremy also included extensive liner notes enabling me to sink many $ and hours of free time into learning more about these bands. Fantastic, 10/10!
a pack of wolves:
No Sexy is a great song, but there's actually a lot of other tracks on 'For Every Punk Bitch And Arsehole' that are even better! If you get hold of it, it will make you very happy indeed I imagine.
