So I was just emailed a link to this album called Fucking Sucks by a band called Baby Giraffes. This is a good title for this album, and I am going to tell you why: this fucking sucks.
My first thought upon listening to this was "why are Blink-182 selling out and using synthesizers like fuckin Britney Spears? Don't they have any self-respect left?" but then I remembered everything Blink did after that album about getting Enemas, and decided that no, they didn't have any self-respect. But then I heard these dudes rapping and noticed that "holy shit, this band isn't Blink at all."
I dunno what the lyrics are about (not that this ebonics trash is even real English), but this song I'm listening to right now is called "Pine Boys" which sounds like the title of a VHS tape passed around in the mail by shady pedophiles through PO boxes and shit.
These songs are catchy though. At least they have that going for them. "Giraffe Party" being a good example of that, with the brilliant chorus of "DO A LITTLE DANCE AND HAVE LOTS OF FUN, BABY GIRAFFES ARE NUMBER ONE/MAKE A LITTLE NOISE AND HAVE LOTS OF SEX, BABY GIRAFFES ARE THE FUCKING BEST!" What exactly they are the best at is unknown, but they seem pretty confident of this. Maybe they are the best at thinking they're the best? Ha ha ha.
There are some other songs about Yu-Gi-Oh cards or something, I dunno. I asked my friend (aka some random faggot I ran into on the internet) what he/she (I'm unsure of this person's gender) thought of this band, and s/he said "it sounds like Mindless Self Indulgence mixed with Hollywood Undead" and while I'm not too into it, I don't hate it enough to compare it to fucking MSI.
And holy shit, I just got to the song "Magical Sea Donkey" and good God, I'm actually glad for once that I blanked out typing this and started paying attention to the lyrics. This is probably the best educational song I've heard since the Magic School Bus and Reading Rainbow bullshit. I was immersed in the historical storyline of the song, and I'm betting you will too.
I was kind of iffy on this whole thing, but "Magical Sea Donkey" bumps this shit up by a couple points.
Final Score:
7.7/10
You can listen to the whole thing here for free. You can pay to download the mp3s but, like, who actually does that anyway? NOT ME. I'M A BLOG WRITER, MOTHERFUCKER. I GET THIS SHIT FOR FREE. I'm sure this band would use the money for meth and handjobs from 15 year old girls anyway.
this band is 15 years old
ReplyDelete"Magical Sea Donkey" was actually on an episode of Yo-Bagga-Baggga.
ReplyDelete:O DX you speak lies! They're the best :D and that album was amazing! o/\_/\o
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Baby Giraffes, you just have no personality to do so. Lighten up and stop being such a douche.
ReplyDeleteNo, you don't understand, this shit is horrible and you have a bad personality for liking it. I'm sure that this blog's other writer, Erin E-Surance, would agree.
ReplyDeleteOkay look, I know the Baby Giraffes. And they will tell you it's just a joke. They have multiple other bands/side projects. Ed is actually a very talented musician. If you knew them, you would know that they are both hilarious people and rarely take anything seriously, not even the music. Chill out bro, take it for what it is, not every band is trying to be the Beatles :D
ReplyDeleteThis band is awesome and so is MSI people just cant respect others people taste if you dont like music like this dont listen and list to your music we all should be able to listen to music without someone going oh this shit sucks
