Review Summary: Summary
While a good album,I see Showbread turning away from their old screamo self and going into a Goth-ish type of genre.The only reason I even have this album is because my brother loved the first album,Though I must agree with Dancin'Man:the Keytar
1st. review, so some positive criticisim is welcome.
While I believe the music in it self is weak,the synthesizer is the only reason I like this album.
Track
1) Naked Lunch
While most of this album is about throwing up and obviosly reptiles,this song was written with the intent of making one woozzy in the chorus.The key suddenly changes so that it feels almost as if you are dizzy or,something.The guitars,bass,and drums are very mediocre,while there is very little synth going.vocals are pretty good.
2)Pachycephalosaurus
Very strong synth at the beginning and throughout the song.the lyrics are catchy enough to sing to yourself,but not enough to karioke to or anything,well stupid.Once again all the instruments except for the synth are mediocre.Vocals are OK.
3)Your Owls Are Hooting
A very intesting song,indeed,but not memorable(as i sit typing i can't even remember most of the lyrics) though I do know it is all about every single reptile they happen to like.
4)Oh!Emetophobia!
strong synth with catchy melodys and lyrics,but the title is pretty self explanitory, though the music video is pretty good.I looked the word emetophobia,and it means"the fear of throwing up".
5)Sing me to Sleep
Uniteresting lyrics,instruments and everything else.It is a good lullaby for your cobra, so the lyrics state.
6)George Romero Will be at our Wedding
Yet another song about throwing up,but catchy lyrics,and OK instrumentals make this song listenable.It is interesting, yet slightly grotesque, that he talkes about eating his loves fingrs and barfing up the ring. o_O
7)Centepede Sisters
Heavy Synth throughout most of the song,but not very memorable due to the fact that it hints another CD.
8)The Jesus Lizard
A song about them running on water like some lizard or Jesus is just slightly childish.Mediocrity is Showbread's middle name, apparently
9)Dinosaur bones
A unremarkable song that could have been worked on more before it was realesed
10)Age of Reptiles
A waste a 10 MB on your computer,this song is trying to be Matthias Replaces Judas,yet it isnt nearly as good
