CD Reviews

They ARE alive!
Elemenop | Los Angeles, CA USA | 06/27/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Lucky Boys Confusion have returned, after the demise of Elektra records, with this self-released EP of 4 new LBC songs and a cover of Dramarama's classic "Anything, Anything". The songs have a slightly tougher edge than in the past but feature the same peppy snap fans have come to expect, with an even slicker production quality. Now, if the band are known for their bevy of memorable hooks, this new material will more than cement that sentiment. Each track playfully struts its way to a chorus fueled with a sweet melodic power few bands can match. This is as catchy as it gets folks. No sense in naming any titles either, as each track is a stand-out! And as usual, not a ballad is in sight here. Plus, there are no ska/hip-hop types stylings this time out either. So, the only drawback is the fact that it's NOT a full album, because this new release rises above anything the band has done previously. No confusion here, this is KILLER!"
How bands like this fall under the radar is beyond me

"The Good

A catchy arpeggio section followed by an infectious riff leads you into "The Struggle (Getting Out Alive)." The chorus has a great structure and flow to it, and Stubhy's melodic vocals are quite encapsulating. "Cigarettes" has both a rock radio and pop radio appeal to it. The lyrical sentiments are genuine and pure and the chord progression and guitar work are easy to grasp on to. Guitarist Adam and Joe mix things up on "When Bad News Gets Worse" as one lays down some chugga-chugga riffage, and the other leans on straight strumming. "Like Rats From a Sinking Ship" is just as frantic and you would imagine the scene would be on an actual ship disaster. It's all about and vocal melody and guitar riffage on "Anything, Anything (I'll Give You)."



The Bad

Nada



The Verdict

How bands like this fall under the radar is beyond me. With just five songs, Lucky Boys Confusion will grab your attention and have you glued to their energetic and melodic sound until it's all over.
