offspring lagi..but this time on a specific song :)

wooo currently i'm listening to you're gonna go far, kid by the offspring..pretty amazing song

been hearing dis song for the past two hours i guess..wit my lil bro..lol~ maybe its kinda freaky having to hear a single song over and over for about two hours but for me..this song really shows their image as the offspring in this new album :)

at first i just read the lyrics of this song and to me the lyrics seems meaningless (at first!) but after hearin over and over..the lyrics are kinda deep..i think its about a really farkhed up liar in daily life..at least to me la :D

what really gets me bout this song is the music style...really OFFSPRING!! :)
the song starts off with a catchy tune with a cool riff of drums and not forgetting wit the matching choice of guitar chords (hats off to them for this) that really gets me in the mood to move when suddenly..

..the pre chorus (i guess) comes in with the lyrics "now dance, farkher, dance"

herm..kinda cool to be performin it live during a real dance..when every1 is moovin to the catchy intro til the pre chorus part..haha

when the chorus comes in, really headbangin stuff..at least for punk rock music la.. :D
all that within a song that i think is about big time farkhin liars..whoa~ kinda amazed wit them for a sec there..but heck its the offspring for god's sake :)

my lil bro even opened their live performance of this song on youtube..hats off again coz their performance live is really something to watch..really hope that they come over to malaysia for a performance..and hopefully there wont be any problem for me to see them perform coz i'd definitely go and watch them perform..like i did wit incubus XD

oh i really drafted away there..lol~
back to the vid, i really liked the part near to the endin when there's no guitar sound..only bass and their guitarist just screams "dance farkher dance" part..funny~ haha :D
some of the comment on the vid even said that their live performance of the song is better than the album version (clap2) XD

the solo for the song is really sumthin also even its not dat complicated (its a punk rock song solo..go figure :D) coz the solo comes in as the dexter's voice fade on the chorus...kinda smart..hihu~

again..hats off to the offspring for producing a hell of a song for their new album..rise and fall, rage and grace..really shows their talent on producing a great song wit the right mixtures of elements within the song :D

offspring's latest release

haha the 2nd post in my blog and yet another band review..but this time its more towards an album review..

the latest album from the offspring - rise and fall, rage and grace

btw, i AM A HUGE FAN of this band..i think i have ALL of their songs in my external..just name it!! haha

i just got the album (no need to tell where i got it lah...sian kat offspring..haha) and currently listening to it..tak abes semua lagi pon but wut the heck..their album is really something to write about

generally they haven't lost their punk rock touch with the exception of a few song which was a bit jambu for me..namely kristy, are you doing okay? maybe they want to increase their album sales that way? lol.. but personally for me there's nothing more that they can do to increase their sales as all of their songs so far have reached out to all of their fans..heck most of my fans are into punk rock and they LOVE the offspring..mostly because of their style of music maybe

1 thing dat i cant accept bout their latest album is their change within a few of their song which for me does not relate to their original style of music.. some of the songs inside this album even has PIANO!! haha.. in this album u can also notice that dexter's voice became more jambu during some songs.. -_-'

negatives aside, this album also contains songs that have not lost their punk rock touch..cant remember the name rite now (well actually lazy to open the other tab coz i'm writing..haha) but some of the song really reflects their true style, happy and not so meaningful songs (well..for me la..haha)

herm..runing out of ideas to comment on this album so i guess i'll end it here..maybe if i got some more shit to say i'll log in again and edit this post..haha..
but 1 things for sure if ur a real offspring fan (am i included? :P) be prepared to be amazed and a bit dissapointed at the same time when u hear this album

l8er~

ha ha i've started blogging

whoa this is my first post on a blog but to the readers out there, i'm sorry to disappoint you but i don't think that i'll be making this blog like my diary or sumthin..this means that i won't probably put in all the things i done in the day..how i feel about someone or sumthin like dat.. maybe sometimes but i wont get my hopes up lol~

the first view from me is about a big time malaysian ban (well at least for me..so boo u!) Dragon Red..got their album bout a year or two back..remembered the first and only (i think) time i saw them live..at rock the world..they played system of a down's toxicity..dat song was like a has been song at dat time but for me they started off with just the right style with dat song..kinda like bringing back d dead la..lol~
i think after watching them live i knew i MUST have their album
after havin their album..WHOA!! their music is really amazing...simply amazing! never heard a malaysian band sound like that (apart from disagree kot..haha)
to me their music is kinda hybrid between linkin park n korn (the linkin park maybe coz they have 2 vocals :P )
but i was really amazed by their music and never thought dat a malaysian band could reach dis level!! i even got maybe all their videos on the net..googled and googled for them..haha
their live performance is really head bangin n their album is awesome..what more can i say
really hope to see them live again..hopefuly..
back last year i saw on their site that they are coming to UTP..with the hotlink tour if i'm not mistaken..well at least they are scheduled to come but i think that their music is not the type that the management approves..maybe dats the reason they didn't came.. :(
haa..i even saw on their site bout a year ago that they will perform at US for some big concert..dunno how that goes but again i was amazed that they got a slot in a concert at US..pretty big la for a rising band in Malaysia..
really think that they got talent.. to me they got what it takes to go international..but maybe coz they are inside malaysia..cant do much bout it..maybe~ haha
to those out there (if there are people readin dis crap) who haven't heard of them..FIND THEIR MUSIC!! at least search for them at youtube..search for sumthin like dragon red..can also try dragon red holocaust (the name of their album n a song in dat album)

dunno bout others but i'm certainly waiting patiently for their next release :D
