Review of
Dressed Up As Life
|
Okay, I'll start this review by going straight to
the point -- this album includes the song from the "Free Hugs" video that most
of us saw on YouTube last year. You know the one, where some guy in
Australia goes around giving everyone free hugs. A simple idea, but no one
does it. This man (I forget his name) gives hug to everyone no matter how
old, how young, what your color, religion or political ideas - and does hug some
good looking women along the way as well. The video made an international
splash and the band is trying to take advantage of it around the world with
their debut North American album entitled Dressed Up As Life.
From the name of the band,
Sick Puppies, you do not know what to expect
from their music, especially if you saw the video, but the video is good.
They play a bit of some hard rock with a good driving beat. The tracks on
the album include the song "All the Same" which is the song from the video.
That alone is a really good song, but they have listed it sixth, so if you are
like me, you put the CD on and listen to it from the beginning. However,
you will not be disappointed by the other songs on this album, beginning with a
political message in "My World" to the driving "Deliverance." The
album does not stop their, and is a solid EP from track 1 to track 12.
Shimon Moore's voice is in tune with the music
and becomes an instrument in itself as is Emma Anzais. Both sing and both
play guitar, but the beat is kept in check by the rhythm of Mark Goodwin's
playing of the skins. Together they have created a formidable group from down
under that will take North America by storm.
