(along with two others, this album was picked at random and reviewed within 10 minutes)
HEY! here's actually one I've listened to before and actually LIKE! crap, might not be able to do it in 10 minutes. let's try anyways! I have this album artwork as a t-shirt.
SPOOOKY! pounding drums, scary sounding guitar chords, a scary bassline, and some keyboards that sound like vincent price yanked them out of his solar plexus. but, then a super catchy danceable chorus! i'm totally groovin' to this right now. dear god, its 1.20 and i have rehearsal in 8 hours, i've gotta finish up soon.
"Dktr. Faustus" sparse, Brix doing some "yeah-ea-eahhh" vocals, Mark through a megaphone, kinda like "Barmy", it keeps building to the end, where it becomes a mess of cool noises and Brix and Mark yelling "faust banana!!" and stuff. god I love this band.
"shoulder pads 1#" is some cool short ditty dancey thing that is totally poppy, but the production makes it seem really creepy, but its great!
"mr. pharmacist" is the famous track here. it's a cover of a song by some group called "The other half" and its a garage cracker stomper that speads up and has an actual guitar solo! weird! "Gross chapel - british grenadiers" is a moody bass driven creeper. see, its right behind you!!! aaaaa nooooo! but, it goes on for over 7 MINUTES. repition is this bands FORTE, and I live in a FORT. "Living to late" is a b-side to single, but the US CD throws it into the middle of the album. BUT, i fricking love this song.
"U.S. 80-90s" has a riff that sounds like "batman" meets "here comes santa claus", and some drum machine rhythms, but still cool. ohh and space invader sounds!
"Terry Waite Sez" is yet another 2 minute dancer. "Bournemouth Runner" is also kinda dancey, and 6 minutes long, so you can dance for a long time. Like 6 minutes! I ate 6 donuts. Hey John, how bout milkshakes??!
why can't ghost go to the movies?
because the dead have no interest in modern film.
"Riddler!" is another slow one, but still enjoyable. god i love this band.
"Shoulder Pads 2#" is a lot like "1#", except its shorter.
"auto tech pilot" is from a single as well, but the bass line and the guitar noises sound like something that the thinking fellers totally stole. Don't believe me? well, let's watch "Flubber". This song has a few parts, but its fine.
for when you want Joy Division but without all the crappy songs.
OVERALL - dark, slow and dancey. like a twix inside a Ian Curtis!!
KEY TRACKS - living too late, dktr. faustus, bournemouth runner
