The Lizards: Self-Titled
Have you heard the Tenacious
D record? Jack Black and Kyle Glass
offer up an album of rawk songs, full of demons and wenches, promising to
rock your socks off. And while you
know that they are totally into it, you also realize that theyre taking the
piss out of the metal genre, with their tongues planted fully in their cheeks.
This CD by the Lizards is exactly like that, except for the fact that
Im pretty sure theyre not joking. Throughout the nine tracks on
this disc, the Lizards present basic heavy metal, with tight instrumentation and
decent vocals. The band obviously
knows how to play their instruments and put songs together, but unfortunately
the record sounds kind of flat. The
vocals are mixed high above the music, making the vocals sound separated from
the rest of the song, and the guitar, bass, drums, and harmonica are super
clean, making the songs sound sterile and lifeless. Metal records should always have some grit to them, but this
sounds a little too tame to me.
