ALLbum : The Chain Gang Of 1974 - Daydream Forever (2014)


I wonder if I delusion into daydream forever after I've hear the whole songs inside this album. Coming up with the latest studio album of "Daydream Forever", The Chain Gang Of 1974 brings some refreshment to their music styles. The album concept still stuck with 80's pop music but it's contemplating a modern electronic element. I think the concept is essential nevertheless their genres remain indie/electronics. A simple lyrics especially at the chorus part that I think you can sing-along together. There are 11 track inside these albums that include two remix song of 'Sleepwalking' by Dawn Golden and 'Miko' by Blood Diamond.
An opening song #1 Ordinary Fools, scintillating the grunges rock of riff guitar and some blurred voice from the vocalist. #2 You shapes the idea between 80's and the used of modern electronic devices. You can feel it just like a remix song. Up next is the song you can recognize it if you played the game of Grand Theft Auto V. #3 Sleepwalking seems rising it's popularity and the name of the band after being listed as a soundtrack in that particular games. #4 Lola Suzanne depicts on the raising of wayward child's. The common social issues that related to the society are composed compassionately. Another soundtrack song of FIFA14 is #5 Miko. It's quite tight of fast beat and shouting voice, 'We throwing rock on the cliff side'.
Meanwhile, #6 Godless Girl mixed up the contemporary sizzling of synth-pop. I wonder if this kind of girl are not believing in God and forever runaway. Obviously, I must aware with the lyric contents. #7 Witch derives a quite simple of drum beats that easily catch your ears. The grunges rock continued in #8 Moksha, the shortest song inside these albums. Did you know that the term of Moksha are related to the Hinduism spirituality contents. 'If you think your're perfection, don't open your #9 Mouth'. Smoothly synthesizer that illuminate the song perfectly. #10 Death Metal Punk are revised the breakbeat and downtempo element. I think the song derives more to the electronic genres rather than death metal or punk genres. #11 Plum shown the creativity of some distortion guitar and the vocalist voice's.
Overall, the album emphasis a vary of elements. As I expected this album are quite good same as the previous album, "Wayward Fire". 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.

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
