Atilla, as in the terrible Billy Joel band?

The nu metal/deathcore fusion band.

You should check out the Billy Joel band. OMG do they suck. Like, the first half of the album is some decent Deep Purple worship, but other than that it's just wannabe prog trash. But Billy Joel, so if you've ever wondered what Billy Joel sounded like as a wannabe metal artist, then this is your chance.

So Mondo, you signing up now? And is that weird album aimed at me?

Artist: Koichi Makigami of Hikashu
Album: Kuchinoha
Year: ???
Genre: Experimental
Recced by: Grindy

Alright. I did not expect this after sampling a bit of Hikashu. To spare you all from the listen, the entirety of the album was void of instrumentation, being an all vocal effort. And I'm pretty sure only track 2 had lyrics (not sure though, it was Japanese). That leaves the other 8 tracks to Koichi making random noises with his voice.

It was an interesting listen to say the least. At the beginning, I was just stricken by the novelty of it, and couldn't control myself from laughing. But by the end of the first track this had worn off. Honestly, I really enjoyed the album. It was cool how he could do some stuff with his voice. Some parts freaked me out, and others were funny, some were even ancient sounding. It was a really varied experience for just vocal noises. At surface value, yeah it's one of those albums you make when you're bored one day and wanna muck around on Audacity. It's the kind of album I'd make honestly. Around the halfway point it did become kind of tedious, there's only so many sounds he can make before he repeats himself. The last track was a nice refresher though, with soft popping sounds and an overall peaceful atmosphere.

Album Rating: 7/10
Torture Rating: 0%, there's no chance I'm taking this off my iPod any time soon. Thanks for the rec, grindy!
