Could you describe what you liked/disliked about the album? Or perhaps what the album is about, or what it is like? Maybe then, readerss would be more compelled to go on your recommendations.
Book me today! I also review weddings, funerals and bar mitzvahs.
Voltaire's a pretty talented guy, but his albums have been going downhill for some time now. My rough summation of his albums-
The Devil's Bris - B+ Almost Human - A- Boo-Hoo - B+ Then & Again - B/B- Ooky Spooky - D+ To the Bottom of the Sea - C-
His most recent is a nice upturn from the atrociously bad "Ooky Spooky" but it's not a huge improvement, to be honest. And my personal opinions of the songs you rated-
Zombie Prostitute - C - I'm not crazy about this song. It's fun enough, and the gross-out aspects are pretty clever, but it's not as smart as a lot of his humor songs are. Anastasia - A - One of his absolute best. Beautifully written and performed. Dunce - B - It's a smart song, but it's not one of his best performances, and there are a lot of awkward moments where he's clearly forcing words in. Good ideas being talked about, but the actual wording needs work. Cannibal Buffet - D- - One of the worst from Ooky Spooky, and that's saying a lot. Ex Lover's Lover - B - Doesn't have great replayability for me, but it's a classic, and one of his more well-thought out songs to boot. Great live, especially. Graveyard Picnic - B+ - One of of his most underrated songs. It's smart and clever (yeah, there's a difference) and plenty funny without traipsing into goofy. Deserves multiple replays to pick up all the references. Feathery Wings - B- - Another really smart song affected by slightly flawed execution. There's a pretty noticable flaw in the rhyme scheme of the chorus that encapsulates the song's problems, but it's still a good song in spite of flaws. USS Make Shit Up - A - One of his funniest and most brilliantly written comedy songs. Even if you don't know much about Star Trek, it's worth hearing. I am Rammstein - F - It's funny for a single listen, but it's a short and poorly thought out song that doesn't need to be heard outside of his live album.
Added a bigger, more specific section on Albums. Also I am Rammstein had some more re playability for me because my friends and I are such big fans of them. any other criticism? Thanks guyz, good stuff
