Thoughts on FARCRY


Recommended Posts

As I was carefully reading the booklet, I noted a particular thank you to some dudes name Rick, Wes and Chad a.k.a. The Dakota Rock Fest Party Crew! How cool is that?? :beerbang::beerbang::beerbang: Pretty damn cool!!! :headbanger::headbanger::headbanger: Thanks to YOU Pete!!!! We're all back this year for 2009!!! Wes, you bring sunscreen, Rick, you bring the Rockarma business card and leave Evil Rick at home. I will bring Chris again (for Taco)!! Can't wait :banger::banger::banger:

 

Wow I didn't even notice that. That's pretty damn cool. Thanks for thank you Pete. :headbanger:

Backed that is AWESOME!!!!!!

 

Eric you should make the drive this year and meet up with us a DRF. :headbanger:

I would really like too...Might have to look into that!!

Do it! My wife is taking a road trip out there with my daughter in tow... from Jersey! Come hang out with us!

Very cool! We get to meet Mrs. Pete and the small Fry!

Still tentative but looking like a very good possibility!

Top album .... I'm really enjoying it, fave tracks-

 

Probably Have It All is the top top tiddly top track for me....maybe...just!

Then in no particular order She's Crazy, Out of Reach, Fine Line, Talk to Me, Heaven, Love Won't Wait. But the other tracks are cool too.

 

Now I admit I also like Nowhere Fast...I didn't realise it was a cover version until I read the comments here (not having had much chance to read all the liner notes yet) but I did think it was a bit Meatloafy when I first heard it.....and it's strange that I like it, as I can't stand Meatloaf :puke: (except the sterling job he did on Nugents Free For All album).

 

But yep Pete ... Farcry should be well and truly proud of themselves. It's gonna get loadsa spins and I can see my arm getting a nice tan hanging it out of the car window to this CD!

Does anybody know if FarCry is getting a release in Japan with bonus tracks like some of the other Kivel Records releases?

I thought on another thread Pete said no, because there are no other FarCry songs recorded, but I could be wrong. Personally, I think they should do a death-metal-polka remix of "Peter Cottontail" and release it as a bonus track just to f*ck with their fans, but I've been told I have a warped sense of humor...

Okay, half a dozen spins into it this is where I'm sitting. I will rank them for that other thread at the start of next week:

 

1. Love Won't Wait - Gem of a track. I think I said this when I heard the samples, but it reminds me of Loud & Clear... which is an excellent thing. Perfect start to the album. Super melodic rock.

 

2. Fine Line - As Chad mentioned above, the opening line is just perfect. One of those small things that just makes a song. The chorus is GIGANTIC and this and 'Same mistake' are my two favourite songs on this disc, simply put.

 

3. Have It All - This track is really growing on me. The solo is just f*cking amazing - one of my favourite solos in a while, but the track is actually a really good hard rocker. My favourite of the "ballsier" numbers.

 

4. Heaven - Such a great ballad. Easily one of the best songs on the disc and one I love to hear come on the speakers in the running order.

 

5. Nowhere Fast - Okay, so I'm leaning a bit towards Chad's thoughts on this too. It's still a nice track, but yeah, it is really out of place and the chorus just isn't really working for me. Sorry guys, weakest track but still not bad at all.

 

6. Out of Reach - Man I still get that huge Bret Michaels vibe in the verses and this chorus is just delicious. A really catchy number.

 

7. Kick Me Down - Okay, going to be completely honest. I love this track... almost - musically awesome, killer verses and a bridge that sounds like it's leading to something amazing... it's all great but the chorus is just a little, shall we say, not huge? :lol: I do like the song a lot, but would have loved to hear the chorus just explode. Otherwise, a great track.

 

8. She's Crazy - Did someone else mention Enuff Z' Nuff vibe here? I think they did and goddamn I hear it in those verses. A good fun rocker. As I said before, nice groove.

 

9. The Same Mistake - Now this is the song that's been tearing up my list. On first spin I said top 4, currently I'm thinking it's either this or 'Fine Line' for the album's best. This song gives me genuine chills, which is always a real exciting moment for me. Amazing hook, killer tune. Love the lyrics... just a perfect song.

 

10. Talk to Me - I know I've said it before many times, but always dug this song, still do now. Great version of a great song.

 

11. Those Were the Days - Man, I can hear Bombay Black all over this! :lol: I'm guessing the guys were all over the backing vocals on this one and 'Nowhere Fast'? Killer closer to a killer disc. As I said before, the ultimate summer anthem. Love it.

Ok, I've only played the CD twice but so far I love it and in particular the later part of the album really stands out for me. Love the baking vocals, love the guitar solos, some nice lyrics, not much I can complain about here. Also a great job on the packaging which is good to see.

 

Fav tracks in order:

 

1. Same Mistake (Brilliant tune!!!)

2. Fine Line

3. Those Were The Days

4. Love Won't Wait

5. Talk To Me

6. She's Crazy

 

To be honest when I first opened the booklet and saw there was a song called 'Talk To Me' which was credited to another artist I was really hoping it would be a cover of 'Talk To Me' by Rat Bat Blue - love that song! Love this one too!

 

I really think track 9 'Same Mistake' is under rated, haven't seen a lot of comments about it.

Also considering that most of your orders came through Kivel and myspace and as you said the big names up there I'd say that #6 is really good for a brand new band. :headbanger:
