“Grey Oceans?” More like “Gay Oceans.” CocoRosie is a group of two sisters and maybe other people that make music that used to be good then sucks now. They also like rub each others necks during interviews. 5421/65265534
What the fuck? 0/4097
Put on a shirt, guys.
Eh. 3/6.
The Lost Fingers? More like “The Lost My Interest After the First Canadian Gypsy Jazz Cover of a Popular 80′s Song’s!” Don’t buy this. 2/22
Before I review this album, I’d like to point out that a band called “Total Babe” has a guy in it, so it’s like…? 6/87
Nice album title, Dr. Boring. 4/8.
Give a bunch of indians some instruments and let them run free and you’ll get something like “Feels.” An exercise in irritating rhythms and vocals, this album comes off as nothing more than childish experimentation, down to the naming of songs like “Banshee Butt.” All hope isn’t lost though, if you can see through all of the unnecessary noises and screaming, there seems to be some real music floating around somewhere. Overall, a 2/6.
Contra? More like need some CONTRAST from the last album! These guys…
9/44
yadda yadda yadda, Grateful Dead, 3/6
This past week I got my hands on a copy of “Yours to Keep” by Albert Hammock Jr. It should have been called “Makes You Sleep!” After playing in The Strokes for a multitude of years, one would think someone would have the chops to write at least one full album of their own material. As another review has stated, his cover of “Well…Alright” is “far removed from the sound of…Buddy Holly…” Call me old fashioned, but I buy an album to hear the artists songs, not crappy Buddy Holly impersonations.
Overall, the album was a just bore. For how many years are we going to have to suffer through Brian Wilson ripoffs and “sunny pop music?” I give this one a 23/67, solely for the very catchy “I’m a Train,” which you can listen to below:
