11 - Abracadaver

Download

Primer disco compartido casi parejamente entre B. Kelly y C. McCaughan. Se nota la diferencia de estilo muy claramente, mientras las canciones de Kelly son cortas, rapidas y agresivas, las de McCaughan son un poco mas lentas y autoreflexivas. Hacen un muy buen contraste.

Puntuacion: 08/10

Mejores Canciones: Porno And Snuff Films, Your Gravest Words, Boatless Boat Cruise & Abracadaver

Cita:
"It can happen to you well, I'd love to believe.
but I'm slamming this bottle on this same damned street.
I've melted. I've felt it. It stings worse than pain.
Apathy, exhaustion, it all seems the same, fire away."

Mejores Canciones: Cringe, Clavicle y Message From Kathlene

Cita:
"It hasn't been that long
since we drank to the sunset,
until it was gone.
and down with it went our pain and fear,
as we slowly broke contact more and more,
with every beer.
and we passed out in each other's arms,
both admitting we'd never felt better.
never felt so warm.
but awoke in each other's eyes,
without wearing a stitch of clothing.
we were both deeply in disguise.

and maybe i just set aside
the fact that you were broken hearted.
in my own special selfish way.
and if i hadn't set aside
the fact that you were broken hearted.
hell knows where your heart would be today.
maybe with me.

it seems like it's been so long
since we kissed through the darkness,
until it was dawn.
up with it came our pain and fear
that we'd already lost each other.
we both knew that the end was near.

maybe i just set aside
the fact that you were broken hearted.
in my own special selfish way.
and if i hadn't set aside
the fact that you were broken hearted.
hell knows where your heart would be today.
maybe with me. maybe with me. "

Primer disco de hardcore punk que llego a mis manos, por lo tanto tiene un par depuntos de nostalgia. Al principio no me gusto mucho hasta que aprendi a apreciar las letras y la agresividad con la que estaban cantadas. Capaz el mejor disco de Pennywise.

Esto es el mejor disco de Trotsky hasta el dia de hoy al menos, cuando tenian cosas interesantes en TODAS las canciones y eran canciones de mas de 4 acordes. No me estoy quejando que lo de hoy es malo, pero este disco es tan bueno, que parece que en vez de mejorar se hicieron mas pedorros. Por suerte su ultimo disco (Volumen 10) es bastante mas bueno que el resto de sus otros discos y mas interesante.

Power pop creo que es el genero en el que encaja esta banda, pero tienen raices indie y punk muy claras. La guitarrista y el baterista son los cantantes, la voz del baterista deja mucho que desear. Pero la de la guitarrista es muy buena. Las canciones son tranquilas excepto por un par.

Esto es un buen disco, capaz no de un genero especifico, ya que tiene toques leves de punk, toques de blues y toques de folk. Todas las canciones tienen algo interesante ya sea un punteo, o una melodia o una parte de una letra, o una referencia a otras canciones. Es muy completo y tiene muchas cosas como para que siempre que se escucha encontrarle algo nuevo.

El problema que tiene este disco es que no tienen un estilo que destaque, ni alguna caracteristica que resalte mucho. Pero es un trabajo prolijo y con alguna cancion pegadiza. Tirando a mediocre y generico. Lo mejor es la voz de Jack (ex One Man Army)
