Electric Six Still Has The Goods

"Upon first listening to this album I have to admit that I felt it was too familiar sounding and not of the same quality of their previous releases. However, I have grown to love this album as I've listened to it more. Every thing that is awesome about Electric Six is all here. I also might argue that they have never rocked as hard as they do on one of my favorite tracks on the album "Graphic Designer".



All the lyrics are still amazing in their twisty, random, hilarious, and insightful ways. The guitar is possibly more rocking than ever on this album. The bass is also very present and provides a very nice groove. The synthesizers are once again given a more prominent role like on their previous release. The drums are class as usual. I mean any drummer that goes by the name of Percussion World is sure to deliver the goods! That guy is a beast live by the way (as is everyone else in the band)!



So for me the highlights on this non-stop fun album are Graphic Designer, We Were Witchy Witchy White Women, the first single Formula 409, and the classic FU to fans everywhere Gay Bar Part 2!



Here are some of the lyrical highlights:



"I used to dress in black every night

Now I dress primarily in white

And I was under duress

Removed my pants and my vests

And now I'm undressed tonight" from Gay Bar Part 2



"I met you on a Monday

It was Friday night

You were doing all right

'Cos it was Saturday night

And we were

Night bitches, white witches

We lived under the city

We were doing alright" From We Were Witchy Witchy White Women



"In the event of a water landing

You can use my body

As a flotation device" From Transatlantic Flight"
