Time to give a more definitive answer to weather or not I liked Self Defense Family's Heaven Is Earth.



So last time I listened to this album I listened to it on a cheapy Bluetooth speaker. This time I'm listening to it on my nice studio quality headphones.

So the difference? The headphones actually allow me to hear the musicality of the music. And wow is it better. Second listen and I enjoy this album so much more. It has more depth. That other speaker was playing the lower frequencies more prominently removing certain pieces of the musicality. While the headphones let me hear every nook and cranny clearly. Love this album. Great album.

Favorite track is Everybody Wants A Prize For Feeling.

Today's review is CKY's Infiltrate.Destroy.Rebuild (Alternative rock, Alternative metal)



Escape from Hellview: This seems a bit more generic than Volume 1. Not bad but more generic. Not sure if that was the solo but interesting. They used an oscillator. Really cool.

Flesh Into Gear: Heavy riff with some synth in the background, cool.

Sink Into the Underground: Seems like the band is trying really hard to copy their past stuff. Which gives it a forced feel. Not bad, but not amazing like vol. 1

Attached At The Hip: Yes! This is an awesome verse! I don't remember so much synth stuff before.

Frenetic Amnesic: Cool intro. Songs have all been a bit generic so far.

Shock and Terror: This riff feels like it was lifted straight out of that first record. The lyric, "the shock and Terror keeps me sane," is going to be stuck in my head. It's really catchy.

Plastic Plan: Good song. Feels a bit generic again.

Inhuman Creation Station: I love this riff! Holy shit! This song is awesome!

Sporadic Movement: Wow! This is getting so much better. Love this riff. Love this song!

Close Yet Far: Final song is slowing things down. Is that a pan flute in the background? It's cool to see this band trying something different... And we're back to the generic alternative sound.

Final thoughts are that this record was an attempt to sound like the popular alternative music. It feels generic and forced. That said, it's not bad, it has its moments and it has at least two really good songs.

Favorite Track: Sporadic Movement

Yeah, I don't love this record as much but all the songs (bar Escape From Hellview, I sometimes switch that and Shock and Terror's order when I play this) still connect with me pretty well. My favorites are Attached at the Hip, Flesh Into Gear, Inhuman Creation Station, Frenetic Amnesic, Shock and Terror, Sporadic Movement, and Close Yet Far. The last one is a little more feely in retrospect as the kind of retro-active tribute to Ryan Dunn and Bam's relationship.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

Man, I used to listen to CKY a lot. Good band for their time but definitely overrated in this day and age.

I'd say your favorites are probably similar to mine.

I've never met anyone IRL that knew anything about them before I told them.
