The Album Club 2017

What was the name of that suburban hip hop screamo band that was so funny. Their name has some kind of "cide" pun in it. You linked to the video and it's like skaters yelling at girls who think they're so cool. They're almost like a PCP boy band?

Brokencyde

Yes! This band seems like they kind of wish they were Brokencyde.

At least "Freaxxx" is a fun, ****ty tune, even if there's no reason to listen to Brokencyde past the one song, if that. And no, I don't like Brokencyde, but that one song still has a certain charm I won't pretend I can't kinda dig.

That's all I've listened to but it's a hell of a winner.

A quick apology for missing the deadline on the last one. This week is the culmination of the divorce tasks and lots of overtime training my replacement before I start my new job next week, so please forgive me - I've been really tied up.

But I'm going to seize the spare hour I have and jump on the next album straight away. Oh Christ... this looks like it's going to hurt...

Mindless Self Indulgence - Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy

The formal, structured review format will not do for this record. This album makes it abundantly clear what the ride is going to be like within moments of its intro. I vaguely recall hearing the artist name uttered by a child some years back so I definitely had to perform some preliminary research on the genre and cultural sphere of this stuff so I'd have some context.

A few hints of the opening electronics harkened back to the early days of TVT/WaxTrax! but it was a wholly empty nod. All the substance, socio-political ambition, and edginess of those proto-industrial staples are stripped clean from this wretched stink pile. And is that vocal style intentional? I fail to see how it warrants any merit or carries any desirability from its audience.

And my heart sank when I opened the RYM entry for this LP - FILE UNDER: rap rock. The bane of my existence. Mindless self-indulgence couldn't be more apt in describing the vapidity and uselessness of this music. It's soaked through to its 90-pound skin with polished neo-punk aggression of suburbanite white kids rebelling against their comfortable privilege out of boredom and apathy and little else.

Jesus Christ, why is he still doing that falsetto thing?

Okay, I'm 16 minutes in, nothing has happened. It's a one hour waste of homogenized mall punk and I'm turning this crap off.

0/10

It's not rap rock though.. FTR, I understand and even appreciate some of the complaints brought up this week, but MSI is still fun band on occasion.

Oh yeah, I bet their albums make great frisbees!

You don't need to defend your choice. People obviously love to hate it. That's makes it a good choice. This is a review writing thread not a recommendation thread.

And damn y'all. I understand you might not be able to get the stick all the way out of your asses but at least stimulate your prostates a little with it.
