titsworth > it is excellent, as you'd expect from Fluke... : ) there are more lyrics, most tracks flow very fluently (some transitions are really seamless, in a total continuity... which means the feeling is most similar throughout the album, but that's not really a bad thing!)... 'Snapshot' is a pretty groundbreaking opener (though i wish it was longer, it's only 4+ minute long!) with silly but catchy lyrics à la Tosh, Atom Bomb or Absurd - would have been perfect if it was longer. 'Another Kind Of Blues' is an improved remix of the 'Zion' track that was on Matrix Reloaded OST, and makes like an intro to 'Hang Tough' (which was released as a vinyl), one of the highlights... 'Switch/Twitch' is the longer track (9:33), also the CD single of the album, and one of the best too... 'Expo' is one of my favourites as well, it is pretty different and sounds like (in my opinion) what a video game soundtrack could sound like if the video game companies keeped what made some 16-bit video game soundtracks great (catchy melodies and all), but continued on this way, to improve/devlop it in the same way instead of turning towards orchestrations, cartoon-like tunes and stuff!! 'Baby Pain' is my least favourite for now, i do not dislike it, but it doesn't appeal to me much as the other tracks do. maybe it's because of the lyrics/vocals. 'Nebulus', one of the few instrumental-only tracks, has a very nice touch to it, i wouldn't say "oriental" but almost... 'Blue Sky', the ending track, is the track which would make all people who thought Fluke was too poppy cringe - it is by far the most "poppy" they ever did (featuring background female vocals à la gospel/r'n'b), but i love it! ; ) it's a summer anthem... like for the opener, i wish it would have been longer, it is only 5+ minute long... i'd say, if you're a casual Fluke fan, give this a listen - if you're a fan, get it! it is not as flawless as Six Wheels... and Risotto, for sure (maybe that's because one of the band members d |

i don't know, i haven't heard the X-mas demos... btw the 2xLP version of 'Puppy' has a bonus track that i haven't heard (but would like to...) - called Pulsed. (a remix of 'Pulse') |
