Ahhh.......GoldfingerI love listening to Goldfinger, so. . I feel, the characteristics and styles that give rise to why I have a passion for the music they make, the band still possesses, this album included. I hear in this album more maturity and application of their freedom of creative expression, which to me equals ear candy. This album satiated my appetite for Goldfinger. . . sweeeet. .
what the hell happened John?
what is this? i hope its the last goldfinger album if this is the route theyre going. i was being generous by giving it 2 stars. i mean the last couple were getting a little bad but this is just. . . discouraging. i dont know what happened to john feldman. . . . but. . . whatever it was. . . it changed him. hes more in to animal rights and anti-fascism than ever and its all he sings about. or should i say whines about. this is the most whiny angst driven album i have ever heard. i dont think i like any song on this album enough to not throw it in the garbage. maybe ill go kill a cow with it to give him more to bitch about. and then eat it. seriously though. . . i gave it three chances. . . and it just pissed me off. i mean. . . dont get me wrong. . . im all about musical evollution. . . . but. . . this is just. . . bad. its like. . . he decided after all his other albums that he was going to use his popularity to voice a message and preach to people. i feel like he considers me to be a mindless member of society and he looks down on me for not shariong his views. i dont like feeling like that. so in short. . . this album is a little too heavy to be enjoyable unless youre a militant member of peta. . . dont get it. .
In the eyes of the old...
Their old ska I must say was something to be remembered, but as it fell out of style, a band would need to change their base to maintain popularity. I've been a fan of Goldfinger since I was seven and heard spokesman while playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. The newer punk style isn't half bad; such songs as spokesman, 99 red balloons, open your eyes, radio, FTN, san simeon, or counting the days are awesome songs. But since Paulson, a stellar guitarist, left the band, they've really turned to a pop base. This album marks the climax of their turn to a pop ideal.
My Everything, Wasted, and Iron Fist are adequate tracks, but the rest is painful vocals and amateur music. My Everything maintains an old rock base, Wasted is remiscent of Rio and Tell Me, which is a pleasant combination, and Iron Fist is a powerful telling of Feldmann's clash with the FBI and how he sees the US as a police state governed by the wealthy to suppress the poor. The others aren't so bad, but those three are the only ones I could hold to the standards of the old songs. I would have enjoyed the other songs if I hadn't heard the older goldfinger songs.
Goldfinger Rulezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!
