Pop Evil's new Crap

mantis

Hello guys,
I also been trying to get into the new Pop Evil Album. Holy crap does it suck **** and is totally not what I expected. It actually sounds like they are a heavy Metal band playing "POP" music. No way anywhere near as good as all the others they put out which I total dig.
I got turned off by song 4 and I'm not sure if I wanna give up minutes of my life to see if there is any good songs on the rest of the Album.
Anyone else listen to this crap? Maybe even like it?

Ok I tried again,
It EFFIN Sucks bags of you know what. It starts out country then sounds like Britney Spears wrote the lyrics. Song is called Footsteps.
Then they tried to go Blues Metal which I love. The opening jam is awesome and then it happens....... it falls on it's face and sounds like bad 80's lyrics with a lost direction.This song is called Core.
Ok So I tried the next song which is called In Disarray and Boy did they name that right. So here we go A little dirty Punk sound with some LA guns mixed in. It also sound like a kid movie sound track in the chorus. I'm pissed right now at this crap.
So finally before I throw it out the window I try out the next track in Take it all. terrible Guitar sound but it got some Blues to it and the opening isn't bad , I actually feel something with it. The he says " So what do you say" and it sounds like a Producer wrote it while he was listening to Rap, and maybe some new Pop crap. What the hell happened?
There is still 10 songs left on it and I'm afraid to listen to it. I'm wondering if I showed but I want to at least hear a good Pop Evil song , can this be the one?
Well here you go Ghost of Muskegon. It's so far the first almost listenable song. It's not making me have acid reflux. It's not that good but it's about a 2 on the Pop Evil scale I guess. It's like this album was forced out or something.
Ok So now we are back to Country REALLY? what the hell man seriously? This song is called If only for Now. If only you could write a good tune it would rain women outside.
Track 7 is an Instrumental it's about 30 seconds long and I have no idea why it's on here. but as crappy as it is, why not just totally kill it and put it there. Ok so here it is waste another 30 seconds of your life.
Track 8 doesn't get any better, sounds like British bad TV.It's name is Ways to get high. Wish I had a Joint so I could maybe not wanna hang myself for listening to all these terrible songs.
Track 9 Screw it I'm in I'm going for it and seeing how much of a train wreck we can have here. Lux is ok but falls way short. It's like they had this cool riff the guitarist probably came to practice with and said " Guys check this cool stuff I made up, lets make a song out of it."
Vendetta is probably the song they wrote fist and ran out of gas. It's actually not bad and has some Pop Evil song and feel to it. I'm not totally out on it. It has a good jam, it keeps going and it doesn't fall off a cliff.
Just when I thought this entire train wreck was Dead In the Water , that song came on and it's not bad. I had to wait to track 10 to start to get some Pop Evil. This song is better then Vendetta and I can listen to it more then once on this journey.
So Seatle Rain comes on and I got my hopes up , it sounds cool and I'm starting to feel it. Then it happened , Pop Crap LET IT RAIN LET IT RAIN LET IR RAIN happens and I'm so out. Why does todays music feel the need to repeat itself 3 times in a row? I hate it with a passion. What could have been an awesome song fell flat on it's face and my hopes just got crushed.
3 songs left and I'm really trying to hang in here. Now there is some ballad stuff going on and it's the same crap every single 80's guitar player wrote and tried to do something with it but threw it in the trash knowing it was a dead end. I wrote this song when I was 15 years old. They went into my trash can and brought it back. Funny how that works.It's called Till Kingdom Come , yeah never heard that before!!!!!
YEAH Bonus Track so it's called My Confessions. What do you do with this track? Not really sure. It's got something there. Sounds like they really tried to put something together here and save the Album. Not sure after listening to the rest of the tracks it's going to hold me and make me say " Glad you guys released this Album". Im not standing or banging my head.
So you get another Bonus song a acoustic version of the first song because it wasn't bad enough in it's original form, they wanted to make sure you knew they stunk up this album and want to put the black sharpe on it so it's there for you to do what you want with it.

I'm out
