| Attila's The Soundtrack to a Party is the first
release I've heard from Florida's Statik Factory Records.
I usually don't like to bash bands too hard on Live-Metal.net,
but this one just aches for it. The band's self-described
“partycore” seems like it could be something fresh
and full of energy. Instead we get a mostly incoherent
blend of noisecore and ultra-sloppy musicianship. OK, so the
boys in Atilla like to party. We get it. From the album's
appealing layout, featuring photos of a hot chick-afterparty
with the band, to the band's colorful bio, we get it. So is
it necessary that the band sounds like they are intoxicated
on the album? The vocals are god-awful, mostly high-pitched
screaming and odd animal-like noises, and everything seems
way out of whack musically. The lyrics are outlandish and
have potential, but they are indecipherable. It's rare that
I can't make out a least a few vocal lines on an album; this
might be the exception. It also doesn't help that everything
here blends together into one giant, icky glob of noise. That's
not all. The worse is yet to come. According to the band's
bio, lead vocalist Chris Fronzak was featured in the MTV series Made. Need I say more? |
