SLUNT-Get A Load Of This
Album coverz are very important.I wouldn't have been exposed to alot of cool bandz if it weren't fer thier cool ass album covers.Sure,there'z been a few stinkerz in the binz,but for the most part I've gotten pretty lucky.
Get A Load Of This-The new album by Slunt,caught me that way.I luvz the cd cover.A hot chickie holding a melting ice cream cone.Somethin' I woulda thought up for my old bandz cd covers.Nice n' sleazy,sexy and eyeball catchin'!
Unfortunatly the cd didn't grab my pointed little earz like the cover art did.That'z not to say it'z bad,cuz it'z not.It rawkz,kinda,but I get the impression Slunt rawkz a lot more live.It'z just a tad short of it.And I can't really pin point why.I wanna rawk it,but,it just doesn't blast me spandex off.
They do a great cover of the old Romeo Void toon Never Say Never,but I'm thinkin' it would be hard to screw that toon up.It doesn't have the chunka kachunka that the original doez,but it's nice to hear a different version of the toon,and Slunt doez a pretty good job of it.
Not About You iz a rawker too.Simple,catchy and bouncy.If more of the toonz on the cd measured up to this song then it would surely make it up to one of my faves of the year.
Slunt remindz me of a Betty Blowtorch if they were soaked in that sugerstuff that fills thoze pixie stick candy thingies.They wanna be nasty,but,instead it comesz off az more snarley.They wanna bite,they wanna spread the sleaze,ya gotta give 'em credit fer tryin'.Woulda made it too if they would've left off the god aweful Killer Pussy-like untitled track about the lead singerz' pet cat'z lesbian fetish.Yuk,it'z pretty horrible,and I know they just tossed it on to be a joketoon,but even joketoonz need some sort of cleverness to it.It makes me wince,and badly too,which izn't a good thing when yer listening to this cd in the car while driving,cuz it'll make ya scramble for the "off"nob,and it'z hard to see the road when yer whincin'.
Maybe I'm being a little hard on the guyz n' girlz.I do like what thiey're trying to do,and I'd catch 'em live if I gotz the chance,cuz I hope they slop it up a bit more there.I haven't given up on 'em.Better than listening to Lillix or Kitty any day.
And the cd cover kix ass!!
