Not THAT bad.......2004-04-21

First off, this is NOT a live album as the editorial review above states.

Despite the opinions of some Dogs D'amour / Tyla fans, this album is not that bad. It is definitely a different direction, however. The album has a sort of techno / industrial feel to it and is a far cry from anything Tyla has done previously. Being a fan since 1988 and having heard a lot of negativity directed towards the album, I was leery of purchasing it. I decided to be the judge myself however, and was not disappointed after giving it a listen.

Even though the music may not exactly be my cup of tea, I respect the man for having the nerve to try something different. Some of the stand out tracks are "Love," "Loneliness," and an interesting update of The Dogs D'amour classic "Princess Valium." Not perfect, but not too bad either.

If you know Tyla as member of the Dogs d'Amour, you won't like this album: actually, I'm not sure what kind of music you have to like in order to enjoy "Fakin' kant". It must be some kind of really new style, for I'm having a hard time trying to remember of ever having listened to something that sucks this much. I have to admit that I didn't listen to the whole cd, for when I managed to bring my eyebrows back below my hairline, sometime around track #3, I just stopped everything and mumbled senseless words. The songs could be defined "dance" except for the drum machine, that sounds like a Casio keyboard turned into "boring" mode, the heavily filtered vocals going nowhere and the guitar-bass sounding like something really otherwordly. I'm really disappointed, for I saw Tyla performing alone a few years ago, and he offered such a good, honest, heartfelt performance that I couldn't but immediately buy this his release. I must definitely have lost something that happened in these last times. I usually listen to the likes of Sunn 0))), so I'm quite used to unlistenable music, but MAN, does this one really go beyond! I think it's good to experiment, but please let it be harmless. If you plan to buy this album, you might as well get yourself a large hammer instead and beat yourself on the forehead: it's cheaper and more fun.
