I choose to review “Deadache” an album by the band Lordi. Lordi is a heavy metal band from Finland that was formed in 1991. “Deadache” is their most recent album released October 29, 2008. In classic form “Deadache” is a great album that is unique to say the least. The songs “Girls go Chopping (like shopping, get it?)”, “Man Skin Boots”, “The Devil Hides Behind Her Smile” and “Hate at First Sight” keep with Lordi’s unique sense of humor. They are great songs that are meant to be funny in a twisted sort of way. The songs “Bite It Like a Bulldog”, “Dr. Sin Is In”, “Deadache”, and “Raise Hell in Heaven” are more like standard heavy metal songs. They are still extremely good, but they aren’t quite as unique as the first group of songs. That leaves “The Rebirth of the Countess”, “Missing Miss Charlene”, “The Ghosts of the Heceta Head” and “Evilyn” these songs cant quite compete with the rest of the album. They are by no means terrible and are better than many songs by other bands but they are still the low point of this album.
Overall, I consider “Deadache” a great album. Lordi blends their unique style with great vocals and instrumentals to create a true work of art.
I give “Deadache” by Lordi:
9 Bloody Hatchets out of 10.
Well done Lordi.
