Artist: Aggressive Dogs (Japan)
Album: Dizzy Life
Track 1 is Give a Blow (I wonder if it's sexual?...). Already I can tell it's low quality.
Well, shit. I don't have much to say. It's just mediocre punk with bad vocals. It's not good, it's not bad. It's... mediocre. I have to admit that the guitar solo was pretty good, if not short.
Moving on to Hell's Day. I wouldn't be able to tell if it was a different song, if you want the truth. Maybe I just don't UNDERSTAND it, maybe someone really into punk music would like it.
I like some punk music, provided that the vocalist isn't godawful. This vocalist is bordering on really, really bad.
Soldier Boy isn't good.
Shout to the Future isn't good either.
Not quite as interesting as the last albums I've reviewed, but maybe it's just boring in comparison to the fucked up After Dinner that I just listened to. Either way, it's kind of boring. It's alright to pass this album up.
1 1/2 out of 5
Yes, yes, I am harsh.
I have two more albums by Aggressive Dogs to look at before I publish this post, so hang around.
Album: If You Please
If You Please starts off with the song Aggressive Dogs. The guitar is actually pretty nice to listen to and they add background vocalists at one point. Not as bad, I don't regret listening to it. Now we're getting somewhere!
Now for Do Your Selfe. Is it meant to be misspelled?
I don't listen to much punk music, so I have no idea if a fan of punk rock would enjoy it. I just personally don't enjoy most of this genre because the compositions and vocals are typically very sloppy, in my opinion. So, you know, someone probably would love this. I think it's bad.
Dead Janky Girl is track three. What the hell does janky mean? (looks it up) Oh. Okay. It still doesn't excuse bad music.
Again, guitars= pretty damn good. The rest= no.
The last track on this record is All Fucking Age. I have the feeling this band doesn't have an amazing grasp on English. But that's alright. This song, however, is all wrong.
1 1/2 out of 5. Next!!
Album: We Never Trade
Oh wondrous, this is a longer album. But but but!! The sound quality sounds a lot better! This is a good start! Maybe they've improved? The guitars certainly sound impressive, as usual, and...
(sigh) ....
.... (stiffles a laugh)
The singing...
(hee)
Is he supposed to sound like...
(ha ha hee)
Ohhh. I see they haven't done much about that vocalist. Shame.
Moving on to Throd. Good guitar, bass, drums, decent enough composition, but that vocaliiiist...
The music itself sounds a bit stale, but it's excusable.
Now, don't start thinking I have a bias against bad vocalists, because I don't. I listen to Auto-Mod and Ippu Do, after all, and Genet and Masami have pretty terrible voices. But it works. This doesn't work for me.
You know, I guess I don't have much to say. There's not much variety to this album, I'm getting bored listening to it. I suppose I'd recommend listening to it if you're into heavier stuff, and listening to their earlier music for you punk fans.
But in my eyes, it scores a
2 out of 5.
