Review Of LOADING NOISE… by GASOLINE DION
by joed424

1. "Shameless Plug" - This is a great istrumental, it really shows the skills of the players, IT EVEN HAS A COWBELL! It kind of reminded me of a country rock song at the begining but it ended up being a good rock song.
   
   
2. "Two of a Kind" - This song reminds me of a 90's alt song with a sped-up punk tempo. It has a nice melody and is very catchy, with a simple riff easy to follow. The vox are full of harmony and is nicely balenced w/ the other instruments.
   
   
3. "Bitch Pants Opera" - The begining reminded me of a doo-wop song and then went into a 80's hardcore sounding part. The vocals aren't as understood as the other songs. The breakdown reminded me of Hatebreed though which is a plus.
   
   
4. "Pickle Farm" - This is a more pop-punk sounding song with comedy lyrics. This song is also catchy and would probably be a single if this were majorly released. It is a simple riff but the vox aren't as balenced at [the] begining, they are heard more clearly towards the end. That dude at the end had me laughing my ass off.
   
   
5. "Cold" - This song reminds me of a slower Avenged Sevenfold song, it has The Mifits/Balzac "WOAH" Sections in it. The singing is fuller because more people are singing it, and I see more singing talent in this song. I realy didn't understand what they were talking about but I have a guilty pleasure for songs like these (I'm into mostly HxC).
   
   
6. "She Shits In Stereo" - This is more of a punk song. The downsides are that the vocals are barely heard and The bass is the loudest instrument. (I can't belive I'm saying that, I'm a bass player but it's true.) Even though there is more than one vocalist it is still too low.
   
   
7. "Political Song (w/ Deep Meaning)" - This is by far my favorite song on this album, it's even on my myspace. This is very fast, brash and energetic, but then slows down like good songs should to cool off, then it goes back up in tempo. The vocals are heard but not well understood.
   
   
8. "Song By A Dead Guy" - This song sounds more like a pop-punk song and the lyrics sound like they would be in a 80's hair balad (with all due respect, no offense). This song is simple and Would probably be another single if it were majorly released.
   
   
9. "YF,MF" ("Your Face, My Fist") - This is another up tempo punk song, the vocals are heard and understood, the "woah"s apear again. This song sounds like it would be a fan favorite at [a] show. The lyrics sound like what you'll be doin' in the pit to this song, hiting people.
   
   
10. "Shameless Plug (Reprise)" - This song is the reprise of the intro and there is alot of plugs for there merch and internet stuff. It is basicly a song full of puns, it even tells girls to flash them, it is kind of funny and I wish I thought of it first.
    
    
11. "S.S.I.S. (BBQ Mix)" ("She Shits in Stereo") - This sounds like a demo version of ["She Shits in Stereo"] and is longer By a minute (at the end they play the song in reverse). It is basically the same song, so my notes on the regular one will count for this too.

I came into this album With high hopes, I love the AiXeLsyD stuff, and it didn't dissapoint. I give this album a 4.8 out of 5. The only reason it didn't get a 5 was the production, everything else was great.
