Here is what I thought
of Dead Gaze's new album, “Brain Holiday.” Remember – all
scores are out of a possible 10 points.
“Yuppies Are
Flowers” - Fun! I adore so much about this song. The vocals are
intriguing, the guitars are inviting, and most of all this excited me
about what this band has to offer. For some reason, I fell they are
serving 80's with a hint of Weezer, but we shall see. Score: 8
“Rowdy Jungle” -
Um, no. This track is annoying. Lazy, incomprehensible vocals and
boring music. No no no no no. Score: 0
“Stay, Don't Say”
- On this track, I liked the incomprehensible lyrics. The clean
acoustic guitar mixed well with the ethereal vocals. Did I hear
someone playing the claves on this track? If so, I highly approve.
Score: 7
“Runnin' On The
Moon” - I like the attitude of this track and the rock beat. I
was grooving to most of it, but then a few musical miscues turned me
off.
Score: 5
“You'll Carry On
Real Nice” - I am giving high marks for the music – except
for the ending – and low marks for the vocals. I can't really get
into a song if I can't understand what you are saying. While there
are a few exceptions, this isn't one of them. Score: 4
“A Different Way”
- A ballsy rocker with a deep groove. It was easy to get into the
music on this track – very Jesus and the Mary Chain. I can even
forgive the vocals somewhat. Decent enough track. Score: 7
“Breathing
Creatures” - Boring. This track is so boring. I didn't like
anything about this song. Well, that not entirely true, I did like
the trumpet. But that is about all I liked. Score: 1
“Possible Embrace”
- An upbeat happy song. This song didn't annoy me, but it didn't
excite me either. Kind of right in the middle. Score: 5
“Brain Holiday”
- This track felt a bit short, but I got into the groove. The
overall tone felt very vintage – which makes me happy. Score: 7
Average Track Score:
4.9. Would I recommend this to my friends? No. There was
not much for me to sink my musical teeth into on this album. I was
bored most of the time.
Escalader,
Jim
