| After more than a decade, we finally have a new Bloodhound Gang album. Was it worth it in the end? Hell no, but given the fact these guys don't take anything in the music department seriously (hence the album cover and album name), one should not expect too much from these guys. However, I myself managed to find some good qualities with this album - not amazing, but not terrible either. First and foremost, if you're looking for throbbing, earth-shattering dance beats like on Hooray For Boobies, you won't find any on Hard-Off, sadly. A lot of the beats are rather simple, and not driven by multiple synthesizers and pulsating rhythms - which I'm sure will come as a shock to most people who are familiar with their older work. "We're Gonna Bring The Party To You" is one of the best tracks they've done in all their career, though. - a very nice, slow-burning chill track with a surprisingly beautiful melody and somehow motivating lyrics: r"Here comes trouble, shut the front door. You need to not give a shit a little more. Tomorrow's not here and yesterday's gone. It's half past fucking with the caps lock on." |
