The Like “Release Me LP”

June 22, 2010

I reviewed the EP, so what the hell. Why not. This record says it features the four songs from the EP, so does that mean the rest are filler? I’ll always take the time to listen to “Wishing He Was Dead” and “He’s Not a Boy” again if I have to. I don’t have to.
You can’t help but like a song called “Walk of Shame.” This one sells an extra 1,000 T-shirts for them, guaranteed. The sound definitely broaches Lily Allen on this one, and we all know she has nothing to be ashamed of. “I Can See It in Your Eyes” also has a peppy rhythm.
The melody in “In the End” is worth the repetition. The last track is called “Don’t Make a Sound” and is really long, but the time zips right on by, sort of like this album review did.

The Like “Release Me EP”

April 30, 2010

It’s an EP. The album cover is designed to look like a record from the mid-’60s. And it makes sense, because “Release Me” sounds like one of those girl group songs that would always play at the end of an episode of “Murphy Brown.” I can see the credits rolling now.
It may be too late for these gals, as the Pipettes’ ship sailed long ago, but for those who actually listen to music that they like, it’s a great time to be alive. Moon pie, indeed.
It goes without saying that the Like are awesome live. Sometimes you can just tell. And someday I hope to find out myself. “He’s Not a Boy” is a rock number with very basic percussion that even I could play. The mix is intentionally simple, the way Duplo blocks fit together. God forbid this act only succeeds because of appearance. I could never believe such a thing!
“Fair Game” squeezes a keyboard into the song, and it results in a track that begins a bit rushed but ends in a fairly organized fashion. It might be good for fans of Bis, although the lead vocals are not remotely as frenetic.
“Wishing He Was Dead” has a more modern feel and leaves the listener with a sweet aftertaste. It’s an excellent choice to round out the record. This isn’t bad, and I know I’d be able to round up a few to see this one when they came around my town.
