The
Destructors- Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll CD review
A rock record that, while alright,
is a little too self-aware for me. It’s
like a punk record that sings about being punk, or a hip-hop album that raps
about making beats. Outside of that
metaphysical aspect, this is more of the garage-y punk sound that is somewhat
unique to this band. Nothing that really
stands out as great, but the track ‘Sex in Chains’ is downright painful
to listen to, to the point of where thinking about the song’s topic causes one
to lose any potential boner/ wetness/ arousal because it will remind one of the
truly awful chorus. It’s also just plain
blasé to sing about rocking out in 2012- some political and personal topics
never lose fuel over the years, but rocking out is a song topic that needed to
die a long time ago. Rhyming is good,
the mix is balanced, and the sound is pretty much crystal clear- not all bad
news here. Worth getting a burned copy
or borrowing, but a great album it is not.
Passable is more like it.
