Now living in Los Angeles, Look
What I Did has released their new album on newly reformed Combat
Records. “Minute Man For The Moment” varies from extreme
and intense hardcore to mellow and melodic, almost emo styles. The
CD cover sticker says “If you like the Dead Kennedys, Dillinger
Escape Plan, The Blood Brothers BUY THIS ALBUM!!” I guess I
could see that along with a few others similarities like Candiria,
Helmet, and Primus. The vocals go the same way as the music, loud
and abrasive to calms and tranquil. Overall musically Look What I
Did stay pretty aggressive. But, the songs have quite a contrast of
feel. Parts seem just too weird to take serious at times. They cross
up those elements with some really good parts. I just wish this were
a little more consistent. It almost sounds like a hardcore band on
hallucinogenic drugs…the Beachboys on a bad trip? Maybe say
these guys are the Muppets if they were a hardcore band? Maybe it
sounds like Weird Al if he had a hardcore band? I guess it seems childish
and annoying, at times. Don’t think this is a total waste, there
are a few decent track and musically they do have ability. It just
seems misused. They are creative and can come up with some really
out of the ordinary parts; it has too much contrast for my taste.
Whatever you classify this, call me confused and a little annoyed. Rating: 64 |
