When Girl Talk released his newest album titled Feed The Animals you could download it from his website in exchange for any donation and a donation of over $10 would net you a flesh-and-blood copy in the mail. My copy came recently, and by recently I mean it came probably a few months ago but being in college I didn't actually get to hear it until I found it in my stack of mail at home the other day.
The mixes are good, everything is clean, sounds good together. Overall, Greg's done it again. But what would a blog entry be without a little bit of criticism, eh? Compared to his previous album, Night Ripper, I'd have to say I like this one a little less.
Actually, I like the first part of Feed The Animals, but once it starts trailing off into obscure songs and everything starts sounding the same I lose interest. That's one thing Night Ripper didn't do: for almost all of its duration the album kept me focused on the music.
Even though both albums feature songs blended into each other very well, to me the songs blended in Night Ripper just flow very well, while the FTA songs seem to be themed so differently at times that even though mathematically they work. . . they just don't. Metallica and that lip gloss song come to mind, as well as a few others: yes they were perfectly mixed but seriously. . .
