Saigon Kick Saigon Kick Rar Full Length Album

Saigon Kick Saigon Kick Rar Full Length Album

The next full length album isnt anything like what the band paved their road with. Published.

Like Water, more experimental than their first two releases yet still retaining moments of their earlier heaviness, and always catchy.

This album approaches everything about its predecessor, yet rarely does it equal - all in all it isnt as strong, the diversity seems a little more random and has a more-directionless feel, and it just seems to lack the freshness that made Water so refreshing.

There are some very good songs, though, particularly Eden, Going On, Spanish Rain, and Victoria, and its definitely not a bad album, but neither would it be the place id recommend for starting with this band.

Even though the results dont always work out, you have to give them an A for effort.

Which is funny because the band is more progressive alt-rock than hair metal.

However, there are some surprises here, such as the punk rock of All Around; the soft, latin feel of Spanish Rain, the Middle-Eastern stomp of Eden, and the old-fashioned Victoria (which recalls The Lizards Chanel).

Published.

His guitar playing isnt as good as Jasons and he cant deliver the same intensity.

Dare I say he made what was becoming one of the greatest bands of the decade to mortal status.

Some of the material is a little lackluster and coming off of Water this album was never going to be as good.

Its really a good album and one worth having in your collection.

The opening track Intro had me grinning like the cheshire cat on first listen.

I was so excited I almost blew my speakers as I cranked the volume.

Probably better than most of what was in the top 40 for sure.

As the album progresses Eden a fantastic song and one their best skips and jumps bringing memories of Malcom McDowell and his Clock Work Orange antics to mind.

I dont know why but I see his face with the paint everytime I hear this track.

One thing that happens on this album is Saigon Kick included an abismal song.

This is such a disappointment to as it sounds like Jason is making an effort to sound like Nirvana meets the Smashing Pumpkins.

Its just a bullshit track that isnt who they are and sounds forced.

Redemption A little metal power is unleashed and then the psuedo psychedelic groove of Sunshine appears wrapped in an excellent melody.

The song is right back to the level a fan of the band would expect.

Another of my favorites Victoria is next and has a jazzy upbeat groove and another great little story worth checking out.

Its snotty and poppy ala T-Rex and an easy comparison would be Teenagers from My Chemical Romance.

The next full length album isnt anything like what the band paved their road with.
