ALLbum : The Chain Gang Of 1974 - Wayward Fire (2011)


These albums really take back in time with the 80s and 90s music era. You can hear the sound of synthesizer that really captures you into 80s and 90s music style. One song that step up from the others song in these album are “Hold On”. Its start with heavily drum beat then it grow and expand until you can hear the synchronize piano is playing at the peak of that song. The range is approximately 1 minute 32 second while the whole song that stretch around 8 minute. It’s the longest duration for a song that I've heard. I think the song maybe around 4 minute but to stretch to 8 minute could probably because the song has a good tempo. It’s a love song that you can feel the emotion especially in the chorus part but at the same time, you probably dance along with the song. These songs I describe as aggressive, energetic and heavily in bass and drum beats. I also heard that there are 2 songs are quite similar in using synthesizer sound techniques. Both songs are “Matter Of Time” and “Teenagers”. "Stop" have a genuine acoustic guitar but a bit 'bold' in lyrics. Same goes to "Devil Is A Lady" except the tempo are quite catchy. Meanwhile, "Taste Of Heaven" describe the passion and spirit of somebody or someone to find the freedom for his/her country from war. Another dance songs is "Undercover". Aggressive and brave lyrics content but quite relax and steady song in "Ethical Drugs". A pure 80's music style in "Don't Walk Away". Altogether, the band from America really experiment with their music in these album. Overall, I give 91 out of 100.

dr.pd. : Johny Comes Lately - Fumikna

Image
Disebabkan muzik video kumpulan indie tempatan ini selalu dimainkan di Astro Hitz saluran 705 , tercetusnya idea untuk saya memberi pandangan mengenai kumpulan ini. Saya tidak mengetahui maksud Fumikna itu sendiri malah tidak tahu serta mengkaji bait-bait lirik lagu tersebut secara lebih mendalam. Maknanya mungkin tersirat berdasarkan gaya vokal yang bersahaja dan ada kalanya nada sedikit marah. Kemungkinan besar liriknya berkaitan dengan kehidupan sosial dan keadaan sekeliling yang sentiasa berubah. Satu gabungan muzik yang mantap antara alternatif rock dan ska . Muzik videonya pula cukup ringkas dengan tema berwarna hitam. budi bicara adalah dinasihatkan

Ulasan Novel Jiwa Kacau

Novel Jiwa Kacau daripada penulis Zati Hanani dan diterbitkan oleh Lejen Press. Aku beli buku ni kat Kedai Buku 1Malaysia di UTC Alor Setar. Aku tak sangka, aku beli novel ni amat murah di Kedai Buku 1Malaysia berbanding MPH. Ia berharga RM 17 berbanding harga biasa iaitu RM 20. Mungkin depa bagi diskaun kot. Tapi, aku dapat jimat 3 Ringgit. Novel ni dah lama berada di pasaran. Tapi, aku beli novel ni masa ia masih 'fresh' lagi iaitu cetakan pertama, Januari 2015. Novel kedua yang berjaya aku habiskan membacanya selepas novel Bau Semangat Anak Muda. Aku tertarik nak beli dan baca novel ni disebabkan kisah 4 individu yang ingin menubuhkan sebuah band muzik. Lagipun, aku memang pencinta muzik terutamanya indie group band. Novel ini ditulis oleh penulis perempuan iaitu Zati Hanani. Jadi, aku nak tau macamana dia menceritakan kisah sebuah band itu bermula dan berkembang dari kacamata seorang perempuan. Khabarnya, novel Jiwa Kacau ni adalah novel pertama beliau yang berjaya diter

ALLbum : Passion Pit - Manners (2009)

Manners were the first Passion Pit debut album that consist eleven songs including Sleepyhead , the song from their first EP ( Extended Play ) called Chunk Of Change . Manners deliver atmospheric feeling where they creating an exciting or emotional mood in certain song combined with awesome poetry lyrics.  I've  seen a lot of positive feedback from professional critics about Manners album in the internet such as Pitchfork ; suggest that Manners is deceptively consistent beyond its singles where if you like one Passion Pit song, you’ll probably like them all . [ Well, it’s true and it’s happen to me. The first songs  I've  hear from these albums was Little Secrets then Moth’s Wings until the last song entitle Seaweed Song . Honestly, I admit that I really like all Passion Pit songs either from Manners album or their latest album, Gossamer even their first EP , Chunk Of Change ] However, Paste Magazine conclude that not every song is perfect but perfection is
