XOXO (Limited Edition printed in Jewel Case) (Audio CD)

Customer Review

... And deal with the world - which is one as opposed rolls on "XOXO" far from a friendly greeting. Benjamin Griffey aka Casper, not thirty, born in the East Westphalian province near Bielefeld and raised in the US, so no one who wants to make himself and his listeners easily. Externally, rather than petting zoo wolf enclosure and yet it thinks the boy deadly serious - the voice of a single angry and pressed barking, chafed in discourse, no bling bling and no fuss style, not for purists and not for Poser.

Even in the choice of weapons Casper was not squeamish hesitation he crossed the wide screen Metal of Rammstein ("The pressure rises", "see blood") with synth mountains and backround choirs brand Polarkreis 18 ("Alaska"), of iLiKETRAINS he borrows the epic melancholy and the flippant Dendemann pun - reservations are not discernible. In between even distributed a few reminiscences of his own past and the good old acquaintances indie rock and punk - times he lets the "Smiths plates talk" ("XOXO"), then he outs himself as a fan of Distillers frontwoman Brody Dalle and the very final ("control / living") also comes even Ian Curtis to model honor, a colorful array of musical Wutbürgertums.

Much more than the sound living this plate from the course text - Casper bares, bites, burns and screaming the hell out of them, let his rape of clarity nothing to be desired and save some song whose sound is out perhaps a little too ordinary, by one, the clever rhyme. Of course, one wonders from time to time, whether it really is as bad for the youth and make a living in this country ("Germany sick with anger, the children have completely lost his mind" / see blood), but because he is because with puts forward as much emphasis and passion, one is inclined to believe him all: the desire to sometimes simply steal away ("Up and away"), the poignant pain about the loss of a friend ("Michael X"), the bitter reasoning about masculinity , fatherhood and self-assertion ("Grizzly Lied") and the longing, the world lost to come ("purple blue" / "control / living").

Both duets are more ambiguous nature - Thees Uhlmann (Tomte) does not sing, it expands and knödelt once each vowel and does so with his half of the title song no favors - Marterias Dark muttering in the loser anthem "So perfect", however, has no serious effects, the piece gets a good rotation with him. That "The final destruction of the city" was heard the radio is not to be expected, but still fits well into the picture. A fine album, then, without fear, but with a lot Karacho - next Clueso certainly one of the most popular cross-border workers at the Stuttgart label and generally in the country. mapambulo: blog.
