About not doing #8...
The CD I was gonna review I realized that I didn't like it as much as I thought I did. So this will be a top 9 instead. :P
1) "Sassasfras" - 4.5/5: One hell of an intro to say the least. Starts with unbelievable energy, and keeps into the final note. Good riffs, and excellent singing bridge.
2) "I Hate Buffering" – 4/5: Solid TDWP song, but nothing that truly stands out. Needed more singing to make it a truly great song.
3) "Assistant to the Regional Manager" – 5/5: Arguably my favorite song on the album. Everything that makes a great TDWP song, plus their best breakdown.
4) "Dez Moines" – 4.5/5: Throwing a curve ball by starting with the singer, the angel v demon vocals are best presented in this song. Great chorus and overall a great song.
5) "Big Wiggly $tyle" – 4.5/5: Really cool intro, and awesome keys in the background. Also about a 1/3 of the way in, cool piano/ soft vocals transition. An almost experimental TDWP song. Solid.
6) "Danger: Wildman" – 5/5: Awesome intro, excellent singing, great lyrics, and a killer transition from harsh to clean to harsh vocals. Overall one of the best tracks on the album.
7) "Ben Has a Kid" – 4/5: Solid TDWP song, but nothing special. Overall, good, but not great. Sweet breakdown to finish it off.
8) "Wapakalypse" – 4.5/5: Excellent intro, and really good harsh to clean vocal transition. Really exciting song.
9) "Gimme Half" – 4/5: Solid TDWP song again, but nothing spectacular. Cool keys in the background of the whole song though. And a cool outro to finish the song.
10) "Louder than Thunder" – 5/5: Great break from the mayhem and chaos. Just a great soothing keys driven song.
11) "Lord Xenu" – 4.5/5: Great way to finish off a CD. Cool riff throughout the whole song. Good breakdown as well.
