Dude Status: Approved.......2005-10-25

If your expecting this to be as nuts as Busy Signal... forget it! It's not like it's bad or nothing but don't go buying this with the wrong intentions, it's still intesnse, but it's not as screamy and it's more straightforward than their other releases (I don't know about thier new joint yet... I hope it's good though!). So don't expect so as many twists and turns as a "Choose Your Own Adventure Book" (oh an analogy!) but do expect some goodness. Drowningman, that's a name you can trust.

A good example of a band that can really, really scare you.......2001-10-14

Each Drowningman release that I have heard has been two things; distinctively Drowningman, but also fiercely original. They are, however, clearly a band that some casual listener could hear and go 'Bloddy Hell, it all sounds the same!'. I am not a casual listener, and Drwoningman rock my decrepit little world. This release surprised me when I heard it at first. It isn't quite as agressive as their previous release, the mammoth 'Rock & Roll Killing Machine' album, but it is yet another turn in a band which is about as easy to predict as your own death.

This release features the most passionate vocals by Simon Brody that I've heard on a release of their's yet, and it also features some really, really cool and unexpected moments too. They still swing into their unplacable, but strangely familiar sounding 'sing-y' bits, but this time round they seem to be a bit more diverse. There was something about 'Rock & Roll Killing Machine' that was fundamentally metal, but there is something about this release that is fundamentally... unplacable. It is a band at the peak of their originality.

The inclusion of the track 'Weighted and Weighed Down', (which was originally released on their debut 7" EP for Hydrahead,) is interesting because 1997 was a long time ago, and it really is a good opportunity to see how a band like this has developed. The song fits in fine with the rest of the tracks, but it also stands out as something earlier and, dare I say it, primitive. You just have to compare it to the best track on this EP (in my opinion, anyway) 'Surveilance Footage Highlights', to see clearly how this, or any band, can mature musically.

Where's the anger?.......but its still good........2001-08-07

"Rock and roll killing machine" for me was their best release,as the songs were so directionless and confusing as each song was pact with amazing, original riffs that didnt seem to bore me after a couple of listens. Sadly i feel the "still loves you" e.p. has lost that crazyness, and has gone with more straight forward song structures. The riffs are not as original and the anger seems to have been deadend somewhat. However try and block you mind from their previous releases and you still have a cd thats worth listening to. "Surveillence footage highlights" seems to incorperate some good riffs and the anger from "rock and roll" seems to return for the last line, "say my name like its all youve got!!!".Definatly the highlight of the e.p.

Back Again to Smash in Your Face..........2001-07-30

Drowningman return from the slightly disappointing, directionless sludge that was last year's "Rock and Roll Killing Machine" with a new 5 song EP, "..Still Loves You" The EP goes back to Drowningman's pre-Killing Machine releases in the sense that their more melodic-sounding passages are back, while at the same time, refining and expanding their previous sound. The EP's production is also the slickest of all their releases, which is good or bad depending on your opinion. The lyrical content, though, while still maintaining the occasional sense of humor, is a little bit weak and uninspired this time around (the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars), but not so much that it ruins the album. A couple highlits of the album are "The Unbearable Burden of Always Being Right" and "Weighted and Weighted Down" - which is a superior re-recording of an old favorite. Overall, this EP is one of Drowningman's strongest releases.
