Nutshell Review #383
- Jørn - Stand Up And Shout (Dio)
I really like Jørn well, but this one is a little bit too generic. This, combined with a much too long useless guitar solo. Check out their gems on #116 Perfect Strangers and on #367 I walk alone! -- Xe-NONE - Eins Zwei Polizei (Mo-Do)
Let’s talk aesthetics first. In all my years on this planet the dance metal band Xe-NONE from Russia /w SINGER CHICK/CHICK SINGER are the only band where some GUY and his anti-graviational rastas totally steal the chick’s show!
Their style is very catchy (but not in a Western mallcore-borderline-hiphop-way) as they tend to mix C64/Amiga-sounds into their fast-paced mildly-metal-touched songs. By covering Mo-Do (an ITALIAN one hit wonder albeit he sings in German) Xe-NONE easily achieves a new level of obnoxiousness. This is quite an astonishing development, after they’re guilty of covering Aqua (sic!) and E-Rotic’s “Max don’t’ have sex with your ex” (sic-ker!) before…
+ Feel - Sweet Harmony (The Beloved)
Did you ever pour too much sugar into your coffee and wished you could turn back time to the moment where you reached the point of “enough sugar”? Original Sweet Harmony is just like a coffee with a ton of sugar in it… it’s too fucking sweet, I just can’t stomach that kind of saccharine bliss!
In comes Feel to save the day! Although this is no great cover by any means, they make your coffee enjoyable again!
- The Wildhearts - Waiting Room (Fugazi)
- Bliix - Until I Die (September)
Meaningless pop happiness enters one ear and leaves the other without any processing whatsoever… I feel nothing and I think nothing because of it. Strike that, I’m getting angry. I want to kill people, go on a rampage, shoot at nice things and put sharp things into cute things…
There you have it, Bliix! This is how your drivel makes me feel! All of it!
- Hypnogaja - Here Comes The Rain Again (Eurythmics)
This mess can be broken up into different phases (just like a virus pandemic or a nuclear explosion). Put on your safety goggles and witness the analysis:
a) Hypnogaya lives up to its name by playing some instrumental guitar intro. Well done! This sure wins over chicks w/o taste!
b) Notice the whiny winching. This helps a) …a lot.
c) [01:16] The most ridiculous mallcore/Evanescence break in recent history (i.e. the last 5 minutes).
d) [01:30] Just tell me he isn’t trying to sing like James Hetfield, just tell me he isn’t doing that on purpose!
e) [02:30] Violins = sentimental, get it?
f) [03:33] Witness total voice breakdown. Seriously, how does that Hypergaja posse ever want to play a full concert’s set if their singer’s voice breaks after 3 fucking minutes?
(Basket) case closed.
- Ultimatum - Metal Health (Quiet Riot)
Metal Health is as simple (and stupid) as metal gets. This cover is soo far off the track to that reptilian brain groove the original possesses I can’t even find words…
+ Phoenix Rizing - Roses Are Red (Aqua)
What is it with Power Metal bands and Aqua? While Phoenix Rizing are successful at pulling the nausea off the original Aqua mess, this cover is a little bit too tame to be called metal. Also the nonsensical lyrics (that is if you want to call endless repetitions of “dam-di-da-da” lyrics…) really shows in this over-stretched cover… there just isn’t enough substance to carry my spark of interest for over 6 minutes…
- Impulsia - Layla (Eric Clapton)
Everybody knows (and loves) the famous riff; this cover’s problem zone lies everywhere else. While they pull off the trademark stuff nicely, they just don’t show any of their own ideas outside of it.
- Chiodos - Flagpole Sitta (Harvey Danger)
Is this a woman or a man singing? How many schoolchildren were forced to take part? And what genius came up with the idea to end in growling this happy-hippy-go-lucky mess of a song?
~~~Explanation of ratings~~~
++ = Now we dance! Outstanding creativity and arrangements which easily topple the original.
+ = Good for getting in the mood. Keep it!
- = Song has that special nothing. In
