JR EWING - ''Calling in dead'' CD

MUSIC:

LYRICS:

I heard that these kids from Norway are famous by their crazy live shows and I can totally imagine that. All bands with this kind of music style are crazy live! Just think about Refused, Chispa, With Love or Locust. There is so much hits in their songs that you can't stay calm. And I can also imagine that it is much more fun listening to this band live than listening it at home because I'm fuckin bored here. This is certainly not a music to listen at home. At least not for me! This sounds like if Refused would play more San Diego style hardcore. Fast to mid tempo music, crazy screaming vocal, some rock'n'roll dance parts and similar elements... you know the deal. Some songs are actually quite good, but I'm still not enjoying when I listen to this record. Their lyrics are very wierd and I can't really figure out what are they talking about. In the first song they kind of hint us with the sentence like ''I got to be me everyone else was already taken eleven reasons why I got to be me'' but I still can't get nothing reflecting with this thought in their next eleven songs.
