An unsual mix of metal, hardcore, and punk
is on Urinal
Puck Ministy’s new disc “Greatest Hits Vol. Two: Twisted
Tales From The Fallopian Tube.” A number of bands come to mind
while you listen to the disc. At times they remind me of Hate Machine,
Mudvayne, Henry Rollins, Scatterbrain, SOD and DRI. They are probably
more punk influenced than anything. Many songs have the hardcore/punk
sound and have breakdowns that resonate like metalcore. Guitars have
a raspy raw quality to them. UPM have some really badass metal riffs,
but they didn’t use as much as I would like. The CD sounds like
they spend more time on making funny songs instead of concentrating
on the music. Its not bad, but more time writing could help. Most
songs are between 1:30 and 2:30 minutes, maybe if they increased the
song’s lengths a little. Fourteen tracks last almost a half
an hour. There aren’t really any tracks that stand out but there
are a few decent ones. “Slave To The Puck,” “Poop,”
“Mary Boy,” and “I Know Your Mother” appeared
to be the tracks I liked the most. Some of the lyrics are outrages!
Everyone should at least get a kick out of them. Rating: 66 |
