Gotcha! Gotcha! Gotcha!

Wow this is terrible! I have to ask, submitter what were you thinking? That said this is a very high 2, as bad as this album is I actually find it quite fun!

This album is funk rock, but also has elements of funk metal, rap rock, and alt rock. A lot of other reviewers are comparing them to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I don't hear that at all, they sound far more in line with Living Colour and Fishbone to me, especially the former. They also cite George Clinton of Parliament and Funkadelic fame, which I can also hear. There is a song where the singer starts spouting Kiedis style gibberish, and it's pretty embarrassing. Also there's one song where he pretends to be Grandmaster Flash? I have no idea what Gotcha! are trying to do in this album.

This band is Dutch but you wouldn't think so based on the content of the album. They really like to pretend they're from Southern California for some reason and it's (again) embarrassing. They have a pretty talented ensemble, but surprisingly they sound very amateurish on most songs, with Naked being the only real example of them sounding good.

The last few tracks is probably where I have to knock it down a star, after mostly bad but fun funk rock towards the end they play they start to play more standard rock and with it a lot of their fun factor leaves. Oh well. Love the album art though.

Should it be on the main list: No

Top 3 songs: Naked, Bonesong, Red Hot Momma

What an eclectic mix of styles. It's so all over the place that it feels cohesive.
