Russkaja Peace, Love & Russian Roll | 3.0 |
After Energia, their most violent output so far, Russkaja lean into the poppier side of things in Peace, Love & Russian Roll and, frankly, they fall flat. Most songs in this album are rather predictable, uninspired and an obvious effort to cash in on the popularity that Energia gave them.rThe best moments of this album are, precisely, the cuts when Russkaja drops the mid-tempo, radio friendly ska and go full Energia: Rock'n Roll Today; Slap Your Face; You Are the Revolution; Peace, Love & Russian Roll and specially El Pueblo Unido (although this album's version would fade to obscurity compared to the superior re-recording present in No One Is Illegal). The best songs of this album are far superior to anything in Energia, but the most boring ones also fall short of even their less memorable in Kasatchok Superstar.rOverall it's a pretty meh album, but the highs are really high. I'd say a 3 is fair. |
Russkaja Energia! | 4.0 |
Russkaja explore the heavier sound of ska in this album, some people going as far as labeling
this as ska/metal (I disagree), but you can't deny the power and aggression is here and Georgij
vocals are a good part of that as he unleashes his most violent performance yet in this album.
This is also the album when Russkaja finally find their sound: A solid ska base with pretty much
anything you can add on top: Punk/Metal (Autodrom/Dikije Deti), Rap (Radost Moja), other
culture's influences (Istambul/Violina Mia) and something that would define their sound: they go
full polyglot on this one. Overall really good fun, interesting and varied ideas and a very solid
execution. |
Russkaja Russian Voodoo | 4.0 |
Still early Russkaja, but a much more solid effort than their first. Choruses are catchier, structures are tighter, production is cleaner. Overall it feels like an obvious progression from Kasatchok Superstar but with an added 2 years of experience, and they show. Even if the album is still pretty straight ska, it's of the highest quality. It tops at a 4 only because it's not that original, but it's one of the funniest albums to listen. |
Russkaja Kasatchok Superstar | 3.5 |
This is some good ska, with a little bit of experimentation here and there. It's still early Russkaja and you can notice they're still looking for their sound, but nonetheless the album is full of bangers, even in they might be a little generic. Good fun all around. |
