Album Description
Eat Skull's Sick to Death received worldwide accolades for its frantic pacing, unimpeachable lyric quality,and nugget after nugget of pop hooks buried under a gob of lo-fi muzz. On this follow-up, fans and criticswill find a cleaner, more inimitable Eat Skull at work. Front man Rob Enbom has outdone himself with bothlyrics and structure, and the band as a whole rises to the challenge of nixing the lo-fi tag for a sound that'sless antecedent.

As good as advertised June 15, 2009
I wasn't familiar with Eat Skull, so I'm not about to say that I had their prior record and/or had ever seen them and/or had any idea what they sounded like, but I saw that good things were being said and I saw that this was on Siltbreeze, which has never released a bad record (with many singles being compiled on Tard & Further'd - my favorite compilation CD ever - get that if you don't have it), so I figured I'd give this a shot. Smart move. This is a great CD. Poppier than I thought it would be. Less noisier than I imagined as it's mostly acoustic. But lots more fun than I was expecting. What/who can I compare this? Maybe if the Ramones were slowed down, and played acoustically. Some of the songs sound like they could be on a Nuggets compilation.
Faves include "Stick To The Formula" (I don't know what the formula is, but it's got a great beat and you can dance to it so I'll give it a 98), "Heaven's Stranger" (which makes you smile the second it starts), "Who's In Control?" (which has something in it that reminds me of Adam Sandlers Chanakah song), "Killed By Rooms" (who's faster pace and intensity first threw me off, but which may now be my favorite song on the disk after a couple of listens) and "Oregon Dreaming" (which ends the disk on an almost symphonic scale and causes me to restart everything all over again. At 1:51, I wouldn't be disappointed if it went on as long as "Like A Hurricane". Maybe we should get Eat Skull to channel Neil Young!!). Even "Nuke Mecca" is fun as it sounds like a Hardcore song from 1980 as it changes the tempo a little. And at less than 30 minutes, it's short and sweet. Why stuff a CD with 79 minutes of crap when all you need are 27 minutes? At 3:18, "Talkin Bro In The Walls Blues" practically feels like a 10 minute jam!?!?!
I've heard good things about the lyrics, but I can't understand most of what the singers saying so maybe that'll come to me in the future, of which this CD definitely will be a part of. Six months in, this is the best CD of 2009.
