The song Awake, the first single, hits pretty hard, although it is merely an extension of the first album s get out of my face or else theory and shares basically the same melody as seven to ten of their other tunes. However mediocre it may be, I still like it. What can I say, I m a sucker for Sully. Beyond the so-called merits of the second track, the rest of the album fades into oblivion. Half the time there is no musical sense or order, and just when you think you re starting to hear some, somebody got the hair-brained idea to throw in a few garbled vocals that are supposed to pass for lyrics.
Nothing is clear or fresh about any of the songs, except maybe the titles.
Having the undead obsession that I do, I was quite fascinated and chewed through the plastic wrapping with my teeth. What a waste of enamel. The song is comprised of sound clips from movies and TV shows about vampires and is backed with some boring, unoriginal first album style music. However harsh and nasty this may have sounded, I have actually listened to the disc more than a few times in the last few days, and it s growing on me. Supergrass Supergrass Believe it or not, I like this album.
