I got my new The Aquabats album! I’ll live blog a review as soon as I get back from my run. Stay tuned.
Oooh! Two free trading cards! Collect them all! Song titles by Yahoo!
1. Now Stand Back For Your Own Safety! I feel safe.
2. Fashion Zombies! Classic Aquabats. Nice synth. Heh. Looking for love in all the wrong places.
3. Stuck in a Movie! – I miss the brass. Was that you in the Soviet submarine?
4. Tiger Rider vs. The Time Sprinkler! – Um, scary. I don’t get what you are trying to say to me through this song. Ride the lightning?
5. Nerd Alert! – Mario! The revolution has begun.
6. Plastic Lips! – Society places too much emphasis on the perfection of the human form, to the point that we lose our humanity. Deep. I’m going to say that was straight up punk, not really ska.
7. Look At Me (I’m A Winner)! – Um, mocking construction workers that listen to 94.5 isn’t a good idea guys. Catchy though. Also not even close to ska.
8. Hot Sumer Nights (Won’t Last Forever)! Ah, back to the love story ska. World’s stupidest boy loses girl and she moves to Alaska to study glacier patterns along with her identical sister and identical cousin and Francine.
9. Meltdown – Meh.
10. Mechanical Ape! – the Mojo Jojo of music.
Mmm. Smoothie break. My recipe: 3 heaping tablespoons of frozen orange juice concentrate, handful of frozen fruit, today blueberries, vanilla flavored powdered health powder (1/2 tsp of vanila extract works too), enough water or milk to let it flow. I tried adding a couple of coffee beans today. Didn’t work, too gritty. Maybe if I grind them first.
11. Demolition Rickshaw! Heh. This is hilarious. Fury of the Aquabats worthy.
12. Waterslides! – Um, was that Sting? Wow, that was different.
13. Awesome Forces! – New theme song eh? The average ordinary superhuman punishers of evil rock and roll band! Nice.
Better than The Aquabats vs. The Floating Eyeball of Death and Myths, Legends and Other Amazing Adventures 2. Better produced than The Return of the Aquabats, but not as clever. And it can’t touch The Fury of the Aquabats which just plain rocks. It’s most like Floating Eyeball of Death, I think. I give it 3 1/2 out of 5 on the first listen.
UPDATE: Upon futher listening, to give the catchiness a chance to catch, I’m going to give it a 4/5.
And the one other fan in southwest central Montana shrieks with glee.
Maybe someday I’ll have enough taste and “cool” to share and enjoy. Share and enjoy.
Careful. You might end up with a legion of Aquacadets surrounding your house demanding your head.
