Ugh. I think I'm coming down with something. Will get to replies and housekeeping later.

Dead Cross - Dead Cross

My shit stinks like the breath of your mom

So uh this is basically what I was expecting when I listened to that Brutal Juice album a few days back. And uh yeah. I dont like it. This topic has really made me take notice of the types of music I tend to avoid, even though I generally see myself as pretty open-minded when it comes to music. I still think that my tastes are pretty diverse when it comes to genre, but I can be really selective when it comes to content and delivery. I know its not a dumb or immature album, despite how crass some of the lyrics can be, but its really hard for me to appreciate the political commentary and activism when the album just grosses me out. I now understand what those old people feel like when they criticize Kendrick Lamar for swearing in his raps. Its like they know hes a smart dude and has a good message, but they cant fully stand behind him because theyre so turned off by the language. Thats how I feel with a lot of the lyrics here. Idiopathic is probably a great song. If Im understanding the lyrics correctly, Im pretty sure I agree with most of it... but the lyrics are so off putting that I dont have the desire to listen to it, or anything from this album again.

Thats not to say the lyrical content is the only reason I dont enjoy this album. Im a sucker for melody and thats also something I found lacking in this album. I dont mind hardcore or other genres played this fast, but it just doesnt stick with me. The closest this album comes to anything resembling an earworm is Bela Lugosis Dead, which makes sense because its a cover.

I actually dont hate this album, and this isnt the first time Ive listened to it either. I always take notice when something in this genre is reviewed highly, because I feel that since hardcore is often ignored by the mainstream, any album creating a lot of positive-buzz is worth checking out. I wasnt a fan on release day, and while I cant say too much has changed now, studying the lyrics for a bit has at least allowed me to realize why its been so highly regarded. In closing, not bad, but not for me.

Final Rating: Unplanned parenthood. Eat shit and fuck good smh/10
