Rio: Rio's synth goes hard as fuck. I can't stop moving, this shit slaps. I'd play racing games to this. Every time I hear the chorus I like this song more. Oh jeez, here comes the sax, rip me up woodwind boy, man's shredding. Sounding like Mario Kart Rainbow Road now. Id play this at my funeral.
My Own Way: Bass slappin off the bat. Gives me AFI vibes a bit. Okay, this chorus slaps. The crazy sounds going are are sick. I feel like Id hear this song while watching a Lazer Quest montage. I can't believe this innovation came from 1982, bonkers, this slaps. Fade out outro is lame though, end the song with meaning.
Lonely In Your Nightmare: Boring intro. This song is boring and lazy compared to the first two. I can't believe they thought this was good enough for the album, skip.
Hungry Like The Wolf: Clear banger, 10/10, 'nuff said.
Hold Back The Rain: Start is epic, love the guitar. The chorus is tough to distinguish until its repeated four times. Maybe all blends too much. What the hell does hold back the rain mean? Your mom couldnt hold back her rain. Some of the drums are cool in this though. Some bands need to realize they don't need to make their songs longer than 3 minutes. End is kinda going hard though, feel like I'm trapped in a pinball machine in a 90s mall arcade.
New Religion: Okay we're in space at the start. Space organ. Sporgan. They sure know how to slap the bass. Not much else standing out, but again, bass slaps. Ok kinda jammin' the longer it goes on, maybe I'm just greening out. It's a newwwwwwwwwww religion, kinda slaps. Bass solo, I'm into it.
Last Chance On The Stairway: The start reminds me of a RUSH song. Pretty sure this is a RUSH song. Ok what is this instrument, xylophone?, this song is getting better... sounded like it was turning back into Rio for a second there.
Save A Prayer: Is this a Zelda game or an underwater Mario 64 game? Cool instrumentals to start, but the voice is lame as hell, should have been an instrumental track, listen to all that shit going on in the background. I can't listen to the rest of this stupid Christian bullshit. Worst song on the album.
The Chauffeur: This is weird, not too hype but very interesting. Liking the flute or recorder or whatever that is, reminds me of Little Big Planet, the Playstation game.
Blister In The Sun: I thought this was going to be chicks, this isn't a chick. This is a classic banger though, but this dude sounds a bit whiny. Maybe this is a chick, I have no idea, this whispering is weird but could be a chick. Song's okay, reminds me of the White Stripes.
Kiss Off: Jesus, did they have their bass close enough to the mic when they recorded this? This turned into a bit of a surf pop jam, I can hear those bass strings struggling to stay intact. Dude's slappin' the bass like it's his wife after his 16th beer. Needs more electric guitar, but still kinda bangs tbh. Damn, that last strum broke the bass.
Please Do Not Go: Bass. This song should have been in Napoleon Dynamite if it wasn't, gives that vibe. Honestly though, this isn't good music, I could sing like this guy, he sounds like me complaining about my job. This bass slaps my ass though, seems to be the theme here. The "bye bye bye bye" part is too much, and the whiny speech, cut that shit. Song's two times as long as it should be.
Add It Up: Another song that makes me question the gender of the vocalist. Oh, boring start, but shits getting litty now. I feel like I'm on the dance floor with Elvis. A bit of a gross song though, "why can't I get just one screw?," "why can't I just get one fuck?". Okay chill, also why does it sound like all the instruments were recording on the rustiest old ass recording device imaginable? Song's pretty good but far too edgy for 1983, you can't say "fuck" in a song back then. Dude's horny as fuck, cringe alert. Remaster this shit, the instruments sound like shit.
Confessions: Feel like I'm in the wild west, but also like I'm about to fall asleep. The bass slaps, as usual, the bassist is easily the most talented member of this band. I see why this song is the least listened to on the entire album. Maybe try writing your lyrics before recording your song. Reminds me of the Tragically Hip, and I hate that band. I went and got another beer and the song is still going, skip.
Prove My Love: Diggin the more surf rock vibe this one has, I like the happy vibes. Much better than the rest of the songs. I could see this in a Tony Hawk games, shredding the coast, 720 Christ Air over the ice-cream stand at the beach.
Promise: A lot of this is starting to sound the same. For some reason I thought it was going to be a chich vocalist this time, even though it hasn't been the other songs. This could be in Napoleon Dynamite, just hipster nonsense people who peaked in 2016 would love. Not a big fan of spoken word in songs, especially when he sounds like he's cumming while speaking. I've definitely heard this before in something, but its fucking awful, sound like me singing in the shower about my day.
To The Kill: Start of this sounds like me at Walmart picking up the demo guitar in the toy section. This album is honestly kind of trash, who thought it should be one of the top 1001 albums of all time? Dude sounds like he wants to do be doing but singing in this band. This song sucks so much, are they high?
Gone Daddy Gone: Okay, they've found the Ficsher Price xylophone while exploring the toy section, good start. This song is familiar, maybe in a Tony Hawk game? It's good, but again, what's with his voice, he sounds so tired. Is he talking to his own daddy? This xylophone solo makes up for any complaints I made previously, I feel like I'm playing Fossil Canyon in Diddy Kong Racing, bring me back!
Good Feeling: More like Bad Feeling. Gotta end with a banger, not an instant-sleeper borefest. Shred all your most unique instruments to end the album. I'm not listening to the bonus track, they didn't prove worthy of it.
