The cover is mimicking Micheal Jackson's "Thriller" cover.
To each their own, though.

Oh I know that, it just looks horribly photoshopped that's all. As you say-each to their own. Cheers for offering it up anyhow.

If I really have to

but there are a couple in front so it would probably be in about a week as I'm away this weekend.

For toeandno:

Otis Redding - Dock Of The Bay (1968)

The quintessential album is often quoted as 'Otis Sings The Blues' which is more indicative of his music. Although his music is often classified as Soul, there is a deep undercurrent of Blues on many tracks on here (Open The Door). However this gives the album an uneven tone. The classic '(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay' is an obvious highlight and was recorded only 3 days before his death in a plane crash, 'Don't Mess With Cupid' is a classic toe tapping Soul workout yet 'The Glory Of Love' is one of the weakest tracks and seems like filler.

Who knows what heights he could have scaled if he had lived longer but unfortunately this album is not the best showcase for Redding. However there are some gems tucked away as to warrant another listen.

'Cyber Grind' was the genre tag I found most often about this album but to be perfectly honest, I was expecting something far more brutal. Whilst the elements are there for what I like in a lot of music - Blast beats, thumping electro bass lines and smatterings of guitars it somehow did'ny blow me away as I wanted it too.

I found it all a little too polished and thought out for my liking. I would have much preferred it to be more haphazard and raw. Whilst it definitely was'nt unlistenable and there are sections I like, I just found it pales in comparison to a band such as Mad Capsule Markets who are similar. 6/10

Mad Capsule Markets:

A HUGE YES I heard Genghis Tron thinking it would alleviate the pain of Mad Caps breaking up and it just didn't do it for me, I have all their albums on my MP3 player and love playing it when walking to Uni and whatnot. 010 and System Conflict (too ****ing complicated the other spelling), well basicaly the last two albums they made, are my favourites. Anyways I want you to review Jan Dukes de Grey - Mice and Rats in the Loft I might even up it if you behave.
