With the ironic help of R&B producer Alex Morris, Homicidal
Rantings sounds like an album worth stealing my money. It's too
bad I was deprived of their entire album, since their two tracks were
simply addicting. Only hearing two samples from their forthcoming album,
I sense an enthralling album that will surely put these guys on the
map. Being called a "musical brutality," these guys will entice
you with their singles. Starting out as a typical garage band, My Favorite
Plaid Straightjacket was determined to "expose life's demons,"
through their music. With the ironic help of R&B producer Alex Morris,
Homicidal Rantings sounds like an album worth stealing my money.
It's too bad I was deprived of their entire album, since their two tracks
were simply addicting. In "Stop The Ride," the funky, yet
fast drumbeats blended perfectly with the vocals of James Sawyer. You
can actually hear their lyrics, unlike the frightful band Exit to Eternity.
These lyrics surely illustrated trapped fury within the human mind,
which was pleasant to hear. Although there was too much growling for
comfort, the track continues to linger, until it makes a sudden stop.
Don't be surprised to see yourself bopping to silence when the track
is over. Their rhythm is intoxicating to the body. "I Think I Hate
You" only gets better, which has a different sound to previous
track. This is definitely a plus; it leaves listeners entertained and
surprise at the same time. The vocals of James Sawyer show more strength
and less roaring. Lyrics were clearer enough to join in, which you will!
As always, the sounds of guitarist Alex Clem and bass guitarist Scott
Lambert make a perfect collaboration, which sounds diverse from what
is being heard on radio. Entertaining, intense, alive, diverse...what
could I want more in a band. Definitely check out their upcoming album
and you'll be surprised at how much you enjoy this rabid metal band.
