REGGIE AND THE FULL EFFECT
LAST STOP: CRAPY TOWN (2008)
224-320 KBPS
Been a fan of Reggie for a long time so picking up the new cd was a no-brainer. I was incredibly surprised at what I found. Unlike the previous album, this one is completely devoid of tomfoolery. No outtake tracks, no common denominator, even the dwarves stayed home this round. In fact, this is the most serious and professional RatFE album I've ever heard.
Fortunately James and crew avoided the common pitfall most bands stumble into when they "grow up". This isn't a mainstream record, you won't find overproduced vocals and cookie cutter melodies here. Rest assured, this is still VERY much RatFE. James' vocals and lyrics are still very much James, light moog melodies still overlay distorted guitar riffs.
Honestly, this is RatFE at their best. This is a full album of top notch recordings. No filler tracks and a great flow. If you even remotely like Reggie and the Full Effect you need to own this album and if you like punk-oriented music that doesn't fit the MTV criteria, you do too.
