Morningwood - Diamonds and Studs


Okay so Morningwood is the side project of Lady GaGa, a tranny married to the guy from My Chemical Romance. They make "powerpop" that sounds like some "I'm a Barbie Girl in a Barbie World" TRL shit from the '90s. Apparently they have a new album, and this is it.

The first song, "Best of Me" is catchy I guess. Lady GaGa's vocals are kind of annoying on it, but the lyrics are good at least. Just kidding, I don't know what the lyrics are about. Actually, I heard something about "pointing and clicking" so I'm guessing it's a song about looking at porn, which is gross. Just imagine, as you're listening to this music, a tranny looking at porn. What kind of porn? Probably tranny porn. Or do you think trannies look at regular porn? Either way, it's sick.

The next couple songs follow the same formula as that song. Drums and guitars and GaGa squeaking away. Thankfully though, 5 tracks in, we get the beautiful "Snobby Little Elf" a song that opens with some fantastic piano playing and GaGa singing the best lyrics on the album "Hold me closer Tiny Dancer/Count the headlights on the highway/Lay me down in sheets of linen/You had a busy day today" he/she belts out in the chorus. By far the best song of the year. And you'd better have a kleenex ready for this one folks, because the song is a real tearjerker.

Unfortunately, the rest of the album follows the same formula as the first 4 songs; somewhat catchy, somewhat obnoxious powerpop.

The last track is the worst on the album, which is weird since the last track on the album is supposed to be the best. It's called "Cat In A Box" and describes the singer dropping a kitten into a steel box full of sharp objects and listening as it squirms and suffocates to death. Someone really needs to call PETA on this man/woman before he/she hurts more animals for the sake of music. Maybe it would be worth it if more of said music was more like "Snobby Little Elf," but it's not, so why do it? Disgusting.

Final score:
3.7/10
