While they’re not a lot different from everyone else playing pop/punk these days, “Dork” is a song I’ll be playing and putting on mixed tapes for friends.
Minneapolis’ Likehell have their fingers in a couple pies, since “metal” has been the adjective tagged on them almost as much as “sounds kinda like Weezer.”
Layered, belted-out female vocals punctuated by a growling guy. It’s not Goth enough to be Goth, and not brutal enough to be metal. Your parents will like it.
KMFDM’s 10th and final album is a fine farewell to a band that created and defined a style called “hard electronic dance music.” Like I need to tell you that.
Not every track is award-winning and there are some omissions, but there are plenty of unreleased tracks from damn good bands that make this worth picking up.
