Feed Me- Calamari Tuesday review
Orion
Powerful opening track. Conveys a commanding power with incredible bass. The name fits well, despite the lack of lyrics. Great buildup to a brutal drop. It has trap influences, while still maintaing Feed Me's filthy sound. Perfectly suited for an opening track. 5 stars to Orion.
Death By Robot
Actually has a cool story if you listen. Epic buildup. Good drop, but feels dry. Still brutal. This song encompasses you if you have good headphones. (Bose AE2 are what I have, they're great.) Fast and harsh, Death By Robot earns 4 stars.
Lonely Mountain
This song is a work of art. Phenomenal use of synth. Wonderful melody, with great transitions. Hints at the dark brutality he could unleash, but Feed Me keeps this song at the perfect amount of insanity. It is beautiful and deadly, with great synth. Extremely well made song. Lonely Mountain gets 5 stars.
Ebb & Flow
Tasha Baxter makes this song. Feed Me and Tasha Baxter are a great team, with her high vocals and Feed Me's wicked drops. This song is beautiful but absolutely filthy at the same time. This is a great song. Well edited and well produced. Incredible bass. 5 stars to Ebb & Flow.
Rat Trap
I think it sounds a bit like RL Grime. That is a good thing. Crippling bass throughout the entire song, except where it would not be as effective. It also feels like house or progressive house. There is no definite drop, but chainsaw-like bass and a lot of heavily edited material enhances it. This song is heavier than four overweight elephants and a camel. 5 stars to Rat Trap.
Dazed
Okay it's a bit long. I still think its great. It has a great tune and is quite captivating. the wailing, moaning, whatever it is in the background sounds great. A great buildup to a solid beat with punchy bass and neat percussion is always a plus. Synth is also used well. deadmau5 lovers will thoroughly enjoy this song. It has deadmau5 -like beats while still containing Feed Me's distinctive sound. 5 stars if you don't mind a long song. 4 stars to all the people who just can't cope with a 7- minute song.
Ophelia
I'm not a huge fan of lots of vocals. This song would be better without them. Still a good song, definitely Feed Me, with interesting use of the trumpet. Plenty of wawa in it, wavy bass. The best part is after 3:30, but 45 seconds of a 4&1/2 minute isn't justification. Interesting, but not up to the Feed Me standards. 3 stars.
Chinchilla
This song is awesome. Good buildup leads to a dark drop that is dirtier than the bathroom floor of a roadside waffle house. Ripping bass and a fast paced drop makes this song one of the album's best. 5 stars to this song.
In the Bin
This song would have been so much better without the completely unnecessary cussing. I really like the bass. The cussing ruins a great song. So much potential is now ruined. Good music though, and 3 stars. Would have been 2, but at least it was muffled.
Fiasco
The beginning was so unnecessary. Cussing and beginning aside, a fast paced rejuvenating song that will undoubtedly make heads move. This song is a big song. It's commanding and powerful. There is no talking over this song, except maybe in the weird piano part. However, that part adds on to it and makes it more powerful. Since the beginning is skippable, I'll still give it 4 stars. Would have been five but the cussing.
Love Is All I Got
The Crystal Fighters kill this song. Great drop though. It's too vocal oriented. Whereas Tasha Baxter adds on to the existing filthiness, the Crystal Fighters seem to interrupt it rudely. They seem to be conflicting. I understand that it appeals to different audiences, though. It just isn't my favorite. 3 stars.
Short Skirt
It seems like an 80s song, which is okay because I like the 80s. It's got plenty of bass. It really is different, but I think it is neat that Feed Me is experimenting with different types. It's too different though, and lacks a drop and Feed Me's distinctive sound. I do like it, but it sounds like a different artist. 4 stars.
No Grip
Great vocal samples really complement this song. It seems dismissible at the beginning, but gains force throughout the song. The buildup is good and the drop is TREMENDOUS. Filthy, dark, house-shaking, and strong, No Grip is a great representation that Feed Me is capable of insane drops. It's a great song. As I said before, great use of vocals to create a wicked 5- star killer.
Onstuh
It's a pretty long song, but not outrageously so. Dirty all the way though. It's just quality, and has the definite Feed Me signature feel. Also has a neat interlude-type thing that really revives the song and adds to it when it comes back with a speaker- killing drop. It is a true "Onstuh" of a song. 4-5 stars.
Last Requests
Unlike Love Is All I Got, the vocals in this song, though plentiful, do not ruin the song. The buildup is wonderfully orchestrated, and the drop is not too heavy, which is good for a final song. There's only one problem. It's 8 minutes long. Length aside, it's a great ending to a great album. 4 stars to Last Requests.
