blast! i ****ing did lookin for a kiss, and whip it two times, and no body has credited me, because malcomnXinXtheXmiddle hasnt added me yet

I've always loved LoC's Rock the 40oz, but never got the chance to pick up F'uck World Trade, so I figured this would be a good place to start.

The song, being the first one on the cd I'll assume, starts off with the trademark LoC intro, its got a staticy backround, with heavy drumming and some cool loose-ish bass, and Stza's unique voice cuts right through. "**** World Trade..."

(0:21) Strong, fast guitars cut through the static as Stza continues his intro. He talks in his oh so scruff voice about Metal Heads, the Twin Towers, and of course some shamless self promotion "Crack Rock City". Talks about food stamp lines and rehab, the classic stuff.

(1:23) The drums start tapping and Stza screams into the mike, starting the song off. The music gets faster, with your basic punk stuff, fast drums, power chords, etc.

(1:38) Stza starts singing. His voice really is amazing, its like weather he's talking, singing fast, mumbling, whatever, he ALWAYS sounds like he's screaming. Reminds me a bit of some old Chocking Victim songs, "Infested" comes immediatly to mind.

(1:43) Guitars change up, into a nice little riff. At this point I can really tell I like the song, which isn't surprising, as i've loved most of the Crack family's prior stuff.

(2:03) Guitars cut out, goes into just bass and drums creating one of those nice "thump thump" techniques, a bit like the intro to Julia by The Horrorpops. Slowly all the instruments come back in, and so does the singing.

WOW, the chorus is really catchy, and the singing is slow enough at this point to realize the lyrics are mostly about how the radio sucks and how the same old thing is played over and over.

(2:34) Guitars change up, and although I think this is the only instrument that changes, and the pace only slows down a little, it gives this part of the chorus a whole different feel from the rest of it.

(2:58) Changes into a really cool sounding little collection of short guitar riffs followed by little drum beats, but does so without changing the pace of the song. Sounds really cool. Stays about the same, with various changes in the riffs, and of course singing comes in. Sounds good.

(3:40) Gets fast again, back into a street punk kind of feel, but the not sucky kind of street punk, reminiscent of The Unseen. Song ends with all instruments playing random crazyness, and Stza screaming again as loudly as possible.

Overall, really like the song. Lives up to the Crack's name very well

8/10, just because the intro drags on a biiiit too long.

So, some songs to choose from:

The Toasters - Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down (Ska)
HORSE the band - Cutsman (Nintendocore)
Polkaholics - Who Stole the Kishka? (Polkacore)
The Buisiness - Guiness Boys (Punk)
**** Sparrer - Riot Squad (Oi!)

[SIZE=4]**** Sparrer - Riot Squad (Oi!)[/SIZE]



Another really good coc'k sparrer song. Starts off with a siren, then the guitar comes in, with a typical catchy coc'k sparrer riff, and then 10 seconds later the singing comes in . Its in all a very catchy song, where you can sing along during the chorus. You can hear the siren during the chorus again. The solo’s is interesting, nothing very hard, but still good. The song also has pretty good lyrics.This is my second favorite co’ck sparrer song 9,5/10


My recommendations:

sick on the bus-go to hell (street punk)
4ft fingers-slowly sinking (punk)
pennywise-fight it(skate punk)
oi polloi-boot down the door(anarcho)
throw rag-bag of glue(punk rock'n'roll)
sick of all-america (hardcore)



EDIT:my first post in here :)

dibs

[B]Sick Of It All- america[/B]

starts off with a steady drumbeat for around 10 seconds before the guitar enters. The lyrics are very thoughtful and heartfelt ("suffering, the pain and suffering"/ "how could they do this to me"), involving their disillusionment with what has become of America.
It is a very catchy song, with excellent sounding individual pieces on both guitar and bass, accompanied by a consistant steady drum beat, clearly evident in the shout-along after around 1:30.
The outro consists of an guitar solofor the final 40 seconds or so.

Great song, probably my favourite by them, 9/10

[SIZE=4]4ft fingers- Proud to Know You (pop-punk)[/SIZE]


The song starts off with a guy screaming: yeah man! And then a psycho laugh. There’s a drum fill in and then the both guitars and bass come in. I can’t really hear the second guitar in the intro very much, maybe because of my bad quality speakers, but it sounds like a bit of a solo. After that the singer starts singing. His voice doesn’t sound like any others ive heard. After the first chorus there’s another little ‘solo’. After the second chorus there’s a bridge, a guitar starts playing palm-muted, and the other plays another little solo and then the guitar starts playing this catchy riff with singing. The drums all along are very good and the lyrics are ….uhhh touching, but whatever good song, not one of their best though 7/10


My recommendations:

The Varukers-modem for destuction(street punk/hardcore punk)
The vandals-oi to the world(pop punk)
Crass-do they owe us a living(anarcho)
Sick on the bus-ugly(street punk)
Choking victim-apple pie and police state(ska-punk)
Against me-sink florida sink(acoustic punk)

[B]Against Me!- Sink.Florida.Sink[/B]

The song starts off with the words "Not one more word tonight," and the music begins when "word" is uttered. The whole song is only 4 chords (C Am G F), but it's a great song none the less. These chords are played on an acoustic, with a clean electric playing them once each in the backround.

When the Chorus begins, so does the piano. A combination of two different "woahs" is also sung. The combination of all of this sounds really amazing.

In the next verse, towards the end, some kind of percussion-type thing is played, and provides a build-up into the yelling of "You gotta **** it up," and right back into the chorus. The woahs stop, and the piano plays a nice little part that sounds good me.

I find the lyrics genius, and percieve them as getting away from your surroundings with the power of music, and then realizing what really matters. Then upon returning to reality, you try explaining these feelings.

Maybe I'm being unfair with rating because they're my favorite band. I give it an 8/10.

My Recommendations:

Against Me!- Slurring the Rhythms (folk-punk)
The Aquabats- Sequence Erase (skacore)
Dead Kennedys- Government Flu (punk, surfcore)
Immortal Technique- 4th Branch (Hip-hop)
NOFX- Kids of the K-Hole (Pop/skate-punk)
Cake- Frank Sinatra (Alternative)

[I][B]Against Me - Slurring The Rhythms[/B][/I]

The intro is nothing special but it's okay. Then the vocals come in, typical Against Me, strained as always. Its quite weird as the vocals seem out-of-sync with the music. This is quite cool but it takes some getting used to. The lyrics and music are good as well. There's a little fill at about 0:55 that leads to this really cool section where the music fades out a bit adn ther's a call-and-reply going WOOOOH-OHHHHH. Then it goes back to another verse with WOH-OH-OH-OH in the background. At this end of this verse the music changes again (it's still good) and there are more WHOOOAS (different kinds this time) before it stops. This is a really good song. All the parts are really cool so it doesn't get stale. 9/10

Ska Cubano - Revolutionary Ska

Starts off slowly but quickly progresses to an average paced traditional ska song. It's quite enjoyable. I really like the vocals, they're Cuban (or just Cuban influenced?) but I'm not really hearing an accent, and he's singing in English. At two minutes begins a long horn solo, and let me tell you, it rules. This part alone is making me want to give the song an 11 out of ten, but Jesus won't let me. Vocals kick back in near four minutes, and he repeats a lot of the words he said prior to the horn solo. I'm guessing the lyrics are pretty basic, but ska never focuses on lyrics that much. You can tell the song is going to end soon at five minutes (even though it doesn't end for another minute). It ends really well, with more horns and pleasant sounds coming from the singers mouth. haha

Really good song, I recommend you all download their album from me, Nick or Joe 10/10

Rep++ for those who do good reviews in this thread and participate well.

[CENTER][I][B]The Skoidats - Moonstomp '97[/B][/I][/CENTER]

It starts of with this really cool plinky-plonk guitar bit with some cool bass in the background. When the drums and vocals kick in they go, YEAH-YEAH-YEAH and remind me of a Toots & The Maytals song (I think its 54-46 Was My Number) then someone goes MOONSTOMP GO! and there's a really cool horn solo that goes on for ages. After the horn solo has gone on for a while you get the Yeah's in the background then another horn solo (on a different instrument I think) this time with intermittent Chkka-Chkka noises and more Yeah's in the background. Then its, you guessed it, another horn solo and this time the other horns join in. Finally after this there are some different vocals with a talkover about ska (a la Symarip's Skinhead Moonstomp) before there's some horns (for a change), this time its short blasts of horns alternating with shouts of BOO-YA! and other such phrases before, in a total change of direction for the song, it finishes with some horns. This is a good song and hornier than a 13 year old with his Dad's magazines. If you like trad stuff or the songs I mentioned in the review you'll like this. Just be prepared for more horns than a Unicorn convention. 9/10

This song starts straight, with all the instruments together in what it could
be named the chorus. The guitars are cool, without distortion at first, or very light distortion, playing some kind of barre chords but not struggling them. Well you have to listen to it. Then some palm muted while it goes the verse. Basically the song is chorus verse chorus verse etc. The lyrics are funny. They’re about Bill Clinton and sex so you can imagine. At first I didn’t found this song very interesting. But it ends up being catchy although it’s not a great song. There’s nothing special about it. Drums are the same throughout the song and the guitars just have two patterns. Bass just follows the guitars when they palm mute and during the other part it stays the same. So...there’s not very much to say about this. The vocals are good and it’s not a bad song, but just average. I give it a 7/10.

Definately not the best song that Joe has recommended.

[B]Toy Dolls - Stay Mellow[/B]

I've never been a huge fan of Toy Dolls. It's not that I disliked them, I just couldn't get into any of the few songs I'd heard enough to try out more. This song, however, changed that. The song starts out with one of those quick, and sort of intricate guitar lines they seem to be known for. The singing is high pitched, and very... british. It's certainly a singing style of its own kind. It has good lyrics, about keeping cool and not worrying about [COLOR=White]s[/COLOR]hit when it comes your way. It's very different, but it's a great punk song. I must definitely hear more from the Toy Dolls.

Starts up with a nice little drum bit and then a smooth bass line. then the verse comes in with a catchy beat and kinda raspy vocals. When the chorus comes in, you want to yell along with the "F[COLOR=White]UC[/COLOR]K THE POLICE". about 1:50 in through 2:10 theres a nice little fill. then it comes back strong with the chorus. as soon as it ends, you hit the repeat button to make sure it plays again.... and again... this is a great song. id never really heard that much leftover crack, but i think i might buy that album now... 9.5/10

Gorilla Biscuits-Things We Say

I think you(Ska_Pirate) actually got me into GB, and this song is great.
Starts off with a hi-hat count in, then a nifty descending bass line, then kicks into the stereotypical fast, 80's hardcore song.
I like the vocals, they have a cool rythm.
Goes into a really spiffy breakdown part, then back to the hXc.
I am now a firm fan of GB.

[B]Choking Victim - Crack Rock Steady[/B]

This is my first introduction to Choking Victim and I have heard a lot of hype about this song, so I decided to check them out. I wasn't very impressed to be honest though. Ska was never my thing, so I am going to come from a non-biased standpoint to be fair and all that honorable stuff.

The song starts off with some drugs........ Okay, I will ignore that to be fair. Then the drums kick in and it's a pretty chill song I'll say. The bass is cool, but the guitar is generic as ever. These guys apparently haven't realized they are white yet. Anyways, nothing in the song really stands out besides the cool bassline. No, I don't like ska, but that's holding nothing against this song. I have heard much better songs in the genre and outside as well. The drumbeat speeds up at the end, but it sounds out of place. You might like it, if you like drugs.

Subhumans - No (Anarcho)

[B]Subhumans- No[/B]

Begins with a nice simple bas intro, with the vocals cutting in after around 6 seconds after the fourth repetition. this song is one of the strongest ever in terms of biting vocals, sneering at society's attitudes from the outset. In the first line: religion ("No i don't belive in Jesus christ/my mother died of cancer when i was five"), the system ("no i don't belive in the system/nothing it does makes sense to me") and the police force ("No i don't belive in the police force/police brutality isn't a dream").

The guitar enters quickly at aroiund 15 seconds, playing a steady repetitive riff before reverting to a slower pace before slowing down at 30 seconds, for another lyrical attack about society's attitude that rebelion is sporadic ("don't worry, you'll get over it/ you'll grow up"), and influenced by drink and drugs ("you don't really mean what you say/ you've had too much to drink").

Dick's despise of the system occurs throughout the song popping up in the lyrics as the song regathers pace ("you're just part of what a despise/ yes you're part of the f'ucking system/ i ain't blind i can see oyur lies")

This is an incredible song, arguing against social attitudes and assumptions in under 1:40 seconds. One of my favuorite songs

[QUOTE][CENTER][B][U]The Cramps - Haulass Hyena[/U][/B][/CENTER][/QUOTE]

I like Psychobilly but I haven't heard much Cramps stuff. The intro is really cool. It immediately starts off with some piercing guitars before the bass (It sounds like bass although I'm sure I heard somewhere they didn't have a bassist) and drums come in the background complementing the guitar well. This goes on for a little bit and manages to avoid getting repetitive. It cuts to a drumroll then there's a laugh that sounds like the guitars did before the verse starts. The music is typical Psychobilly and the lyrics are meaningless. The vocals are okay and fit the music well. After the verse there's anotther laugh and a really cool instrumental section before it goes back to more vocals and then another long instrumental section. I thought the instrumental sections were better than the vocal bits which got too repetitive. After this there are some more verses before it goes into a really weird short heavy section before the end with the sound of things smashing. This is a good Psychobilly song. If you like Psycho you'll like this. The music is great but the vocals and the lyrics (with their repetetiveness) let it down. 7/10

[B]Atom & His Package - Hats Off To Halford[/B]

This is my first introduction to the band, and not knowing this was a joke song, was hoping this song was about Rob Halford of Judas Priest. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was. Sort of. The song is more about metalheads than Halford. Anyways, if you didn't know, Halford came out of the closet a while ago. Basically, this song is trying to point out that most metalheads are homosexuals. The song starts off with a cool riff. The song has a happy vibe throughout. In the middle of the song, there is a part which sounds like "Sea World Music". If you've never been to Sea World, they play 80's pop style synth music with a happy vibe a lot. The lyrics are a bit juvenile, but other than that, it's pretty cool. I will most likely look into more of their material. It's a good song if you're in the mood.

7/10

P.S. Next time you do a review from sketchy's list, check out the Richard Cheese song. I highly recommend it.

[B]Swingin' Utters - Pills & Smoke[/B]

I haven't heard anything by Swingin' Utters in like 5 years, so trying them out again after this long was pretty cool. The song opens right away into an upbeat sound that, musicwise, sounds very much like the Adicts. Overall the music is simple, but not to the point of being boring (like a lot of punk music can be), driven by one of those constantly moving basslines you hear in a lot of pop-punk. The singing is alright, and the lyrics are about being a young, angry teenager living life on the streets. It's good, but it's not great.

[CENTER][B]THE BEASTIE BOYS - Deal With It[/B][/CENTER]

I wanted to do this because I never listened anything by The Beastie Boys. The song starts with guitar, drums and bass at the same time alternating two notes to make a little intro. Then a pause and of a sudden a typical punk drum beat and a typical riff from guitars and bass. I like the vocals, which start at the same time. Then the chorus and then he sings "Lot's. Of. Ways. To. Deeeeeal with it, deaaaal with it deaaaaal with it!" that's kinda cool. Then again the typical riff, then the nice chorus and then the deal with it part again. Just after this part it all calms down and starts a catchy slow bass and drums part which reminds me to some RATM bass lines (I think the bass has a little distortion or chorus effect). Then the guitar does a weird "solo". This part sounds a little weird all of it but I like it. Good song overall. If it was longer than it is it would be boring but it lasts 2:20 and that way I like it.

7.5/10 (Because it's typical apart from the ending part and the sound is not that great)

Satanic Surfers - Hero Of Our Time (Punk ¿?)
Adhesive - Punk Is A Bunch Of Kids With Funny Haircuts (Punk/Melodic Hardcore)

[SIZE=4][B]Filaments- B.P.C. (street punk)[/B][/SIZE]

There is a very brief introduction on the trumpet and saxophone, before the singing cuts in after 3 seconds. The song is about growing up as a punk, drinking and having a laugh with your mates ("Benfleet punx crew is the name of a firm so dear to me/ we spent our teenage years like a punk rock family").

The trumpet and sax provide a continuous backing to the lyrics, dominating the music and allowing the vocals to be heard clearly. The shout along chorus makes this song stand out as a youth anthem ("Hey, hey, hey, the BPC").

Unlike many filaments songs, it focuses solely on having a laugh with your mates, and the lyrics are the best part iof the song, with little in the way of solos by any instrument apart from a brief bridge on the bass.

Very good song, one of their best in their short career

[QUOTE][QUOTE][QUOTE][QUOTE][QUOTE][CENTER][I][B]The Descendents - Suburban Home[/B][/I][/CENTER][/QUOTE][/QUOTE][/QUOTE][/QUOTE][/QUOTE]It starts off with someone going "I want to be stereotyped, I want to be classified before the music kicks in." The music is like a corss between pop-punk (like The Buzzcocks or The Undertones) and 80s Hardcore and its okay. The lyrics and vocals are alright. The lyrics are fairly superficial but the vocals do instil some sort of emotion in them. The chorus is quite cool, especially the bass in the chorus section. This song is very catchy and quite short. It repeats the verse and chorus a couple of tmes before it finishes with a few big smashes and the opening quote again. There isn't that much to say about this song. If you like classic Pop-Punk or 80's hardcore you'll probably like it and its very catchy. It is repetitive but i so sort you don't really notice it. 6/10

Starts off with a good surf guitar line, that is going up the notes, sounds really good. The drums are your basic surf beat, they keep it well. I like that repeating upward guitar line, and the way it blends into the rest. Very nice. Moving up the guitar now by octave. A little breakdown (if surf has breakdowns) comes, the bass does a little work and is really good. Right after the breakdown is the solo, which ends in a slide up the guitar. Then back down into another solo. This is really good surf, rivals Dick Dale I'd say. Little improv type things 2 minutes, another appearance from the bass. Bass always likes to sneak into surf songs, since guitar is usually the focus. A very nice surf song indeed, I'm gladd Joe turned me onto them. 10/10

It begins with a slow, dark sort of intro, and you almost feel like they were trying a bit too hard to get their usual dark sound in this one. The singing comes in, then jumps into a really speedy song, with the lyrics consisting only of a few Hebrew words, repeated throughout the song. Boring, short, and very disappointing when you hear Voltaire's other stuff.

4/10

Leftover Crack - "Nazi White Trash"

I wanted to review that Oi Polloi song cuz they rock, but LC downloaded first, so whatever.

Starts with a pretty cool, simple distorted riff, and then goes into a basic punk/hardcore riff. When the clean ska stuff starts, the bassline carries over from the intro so it offers some continuity, so that's kinda cool.

There's a really sweet instrument in the second half of the verse, which sounds like it could be a keyboard of some sort but is probably just a guitar with some kind of effect.

The chorus is your basic Leftover Crack speed-punk pseudo-hardcore gripe, with all of them singing the lyrics all over the place.

There's a weird interlude.

The song should end at 2:15 but there's another 44 seconds of riffage and artsy piano shi[i][b][/i][/b]t. Whatever.

Basic Leftover Crack fare, but catchy and solid and loud and fun. 3/5

[u]My Suggestions[/u]
Mos Def - "Ghetto Rock" (hip-hop feat. Dr. Know from Bad Brains)
the Soft Pink Truth - "Do They Owe Us a Living" (electroclash Crass cover)
the Get Up Kids - "Beer for Breakfast" (power-pop Replacements cover)
Flux of Pink Indians - "Is There Anybody There" (anarcho)
Showbread - "A Llama Eats a Giraffe" (the Bronx for Christian kids...but good)
Patti Smith - "Rock n' Roll ******" (amazing early NY art punk)

I might have the Mos Def song. lemme check...

Flux of Pink Indians - Is There Anybody There?

Songs opens slowly with a sort of slow and messy, in that intentionally effortless sort of way you find a lot in experimental anarcho bands like Flux of Pink Indians. The drum line starts to kick in faster at about 1:30, and it's probably the only real moment of variation at all for the rest of the song. Typical Flux singing and lyrics. There's nothing really special about this song... I think Flux have better.

Oi polloi-boot down the door


This is my favorite oi polloi song. it starts off with with a powerchord, that slides up to the lower note then slides down again, then the guitar is silent. The drum beat comes in , then the bass, then the guitar. I really like the intro. When the singer starts singing , you have the riff in your head. The singing isn’t really screaming, but not really singing either. The lyrics, as in any other anarcho song, are very good. I can listen to this song over and over again. 9/10
