Remember that chill that ran down your spine when first heard "Never Die"? Or when you took home a copy of Give 'Em the Boot II and heard "Nocturnal" for the first time? Chances are those same feelings will return with Tiger Army's fourth full-length on Hellcat, Music from Regions Beyond.

I'd like to know where the songs the reviewer refers to as "horror themed" are? As far as I can tell, most of the songs are about an aching heart, missing out on elusive love. (I may have answered my own question!) Anyway, when I think of horror themed, I don't think of your standard love song. I had to correct ike_ness who claims that "Hechizo de amor" translates to "homemade by love". It's pretty good, but the over-production of those hi-hats/ cymbals or whatever is really....really annoying. Yeah, no one will remember psychobilly in five years, i mean fuck, who's ever heard of the Meteors, the Quakes, Demented Are Go... This cd friggin ROX!!! all u haters out there SUCK this band sounds like alkaline trio "No 'Pissed Jeans' review huh?" I thought this album was pretty damn good, just two misses though so that bummed me out as those two are unbearable. Did find it to be better than "Power of Moonlite" so all-in-all it's a fine release. If you live in Portland, OR, EM on Sandy has Blackhawks over Los Angeles on theshelves already. I peed myself a little bit. to the anonymous poster below: I still don't have this, but judging by how everyone attributing a low score seem like complete idiots, I'm going to bet that this is a great record. tiger army has had a consistent following for 10 or so years dude Anything remotely related to "psychobilly" sucks horribly. In five years no one will remember that any of these bands even existed. This is awful. It sounds like what would happen if AFI had listened to too many Social Distortion records. these guys are the biggest douches. i did a show with them where they refused to play because they didn't have any redbull. luckily the Riverboat Gamblers were good dudes and played double their set and played "mock" Tiger Army songs instead. So fun. score is for the lack of roman numerals I meant to give the Sixer reunion tour a 10...but I screwed up. Anyways, TA officially sucks balls now. Score is for the Sixer reunion tour in September....this album gets two stars. It sounds pretentious and whiny. There last album was bad as well imo...oh well, I'll always like the second one...I guess that dude from AFI must have mapped out a plan to being a rock star Wheres the psychobilly! Wheres the bass solos!? I get that nick 13 has a great voice, Wheres the psycho attitude?...........the album si gorgeous and the music is ok if you step back and just look at it for waht it is but as far as psychobilly goes......its more like a rock aballad album with an upright bass! Hmmm... what can I say. The album starts off great and then goes a bit pear shaped. I remember Nick 13 saying when I saw him play live that he loves Duran Duran and that era of music and some of that shows up in this. Well I got the album today, and I am very pleased with it, Nick 13 voice sounds very good. pretty good, but not the best tiger army record by any means. I'm sick of Davey Havoc's guest vocals. And what's the deal with the hardcore parts of the album? Online translators usually aren't right..."hechizo de amor" is "spell of love" Not to be a stickler, but "Hechizo de amor" translates to "homemade by love". Without worrying about labels...like "This isn't punk enough" or "this isn't psychobilly enough" one can come to the conclusion that this is just a better album than their previous records. not a bad album by any means...but every album produced by jerry finn sounds exactly the same. he's almost as bad as rick rubin. this was such a weird album for TA to put out. i liked it, but it was definitely a departure on some levels Apparently! I'm not too good at Anti- either. can't say i was blown away, but not bad maybe you just suck at hellcat. I realize that. But thing is, I never have this problem with just Epitaph releases. I always see those albums out on time. But hellcat releases, never. Same thing with Anti-. But I've never noticed any epitaph releases coming in late. For all intents and purposes Epitaph is Hellcat. Hellcat's just an imprint. Both are distributed through ADA which is owned by Warner so the availably really shouldn't be that bad. To the guy 3 below, I think Epitaph does distro for Hellcat. To Paul, thanks. hate to support the corporate machine, but this thing is only $8 at target another nice review, well done glasspipe. Fuck, I hate hellcat. I have never once been able to get any of their albums on the release date. This has never been a problem with any other label. Even the more obscure labels are better than this. Such a good album. Perfect summertime music. Actually, it's the former, is it not? Such a good album. Perfect summertime music. " "Afterworld" and "Forever Fades Away," the latter of which features a guest spot from Davey Havok. " it's a good album. but not a great tiger army album. quite a few songs sound like they belong on the new afi album. great, again, not as good as power, fun as hell of a listen though and Hotprowl may be my favorite song by them. Hope they tour small venues for this-oldpunker- I'd rather have a slurpee, a cheeseburger dog, a pack of marb reds, and a bargain Stray Cats cd. Better than III, not as good as I or II. Can't Wait to buy this tommorrow, from what I have heard, it sounds GREAT! Not as many tracks that I immediately fell in love with like the past albums, but hopefully it'll grow on me, because I feel I need to buy this anyway. Tiger Army wants to remind you to buy war bonds, to help us destroy the pink, commie threat! I heard Afterworld and I was excited for this. After hearing the rest Im am utterly disappointed. Every other song is either just bad or horrible. I like this album a lot after streaming it on MySpace. I'll definitely be getting myself a copy soon! afterworld is amazing. can't wait to hear the rest. No 'Pissed Jeans' review huh? I sent it in a week ago. Anyway....Tiger Army is just "ok"...nothing particularly special. This album was good enough to get burned and inserted into my colection, but I don't see myself listening to any of these tracks over and over. |
