Artist: Bloodthirsty Butchers (Japan)
Album: Bloodthirsty Butchers (1990)
My God!
No updates since October 2nd?
Shame, Anna, shame.
To be fair, I lost my iPod, was focusing on my art, developed Carpal Tunnel syndrome and just forgot.
So, on with the show.
Bloodthirsty Butchers... I can't even imagine how hard they will try to be edgy.
Well, before making judgments, let's try out track one.
She's Break? Wow, spectacular English there.
And I'm surprised. They don't sound hardcore at all.
Oh my, the vocals. (It seems I always say that.)
Bad.
The instruments sound like an early Green Day album, but the vocals sound like one of those talentless punk singers of the 80s.
How unpleasant.
It's fairly bland, but maybe they have promise. Maybe. Doubt it, though.
Track two is I'm On Fire.
That would explain your singing, then! (buh-dum-chh)
If you couldn't tell, that was an attempt at humor. And a rimshot.
Well, the vocals are equally intolerable. Not much of a surprise.
Not to mention it's all so terribly boring.
Drop Out is the next track. I'm already beginning to feel lucky there are only 8 tracks.
Oh, look at this, look at this.
I took a quick peek at their Wikipedia page and apparently they are a "long-running legendary indie-rock and punk-rock band" and are "known for their distinct instrumental styles".
Apparently.
Not seeing much of that so far. Not seeing why they're legends, either. But, to be fair, pretty much all of the punk genre is crap.
Drop Out isn't as bad. "As bad" being key here.
I'm Blue has slightly better instruments, and even better vocals. I'd have to say this is the best so far, as much as that pains me. It's close to being listenable.
Regardless, it all is just so drab.
Silencer really just blends in with the others. Other than I'm Blue, this all kind of sounds like one long, boring, neverending song.
Earlier today, I tried the Ganzfeld effect, where you take away your sense of sight and hearing for several hours. I had a splitting headache and felt like I was about to snap. This is beginning to feel similar to that.
I swear to God, Six O'Clock AM starts off exactly like another song on this album. This is becoming tiresome.
His voice is frustrating me more and more as it goes on. Either he's getting worse or I'm losing my mind.
They really aren't painfully bad or anything and I know I'm probably giving that impression. This album just lacks any originality and effort.
Moving on.
Your Sad Story is just... ugh.
Is it even possible to tell these apart from each other?
Clash! Sky! is the final track. After this I can go back to listening to music that doesn't melt your brain with its complete disregard for uniqueness. Thank God.
Well, it's over 7 minutes and the singing is just terrible.
You know, fuck it. Rating.
2 out of 5.
Legends my ass. Good for a new band playing at local clubs, but critical acclaim? Totally undeserving.
