Ok, so a while back, the foreman of this site, Bugger, posted about a guy called James who went by the name of Crywank. I downloaded his demos for his album "James is Going to Die Soon" and I fucking loved it, this guy is awesome, i'm his top listener on last.fm and honoured to be so.
All that said, the actual album "James is Going to Die Soon" doesn't do it for me as much as the demos did. There are a few changes to the songs themselves that I didn't like too much, particularly on my favourite song by the guy "Zains, Cam4, Wah-Wah and Sirens". The lyrics are slightly different, which is okay, but the thing that I dislike is just that his voice seems to have less depth on the album, it's less emotional, less passionate. When he shouted his lyrics on the demos it came across as shouting because of his emotions his feelings, on the album, it seems like more of a "Okay I'll shout here because there's a shout here", it's a good album, it just doesnt match the passion of the demos. I still enjoy listening to it, and there are some new songs on the album that are pretty cool, but if it comes at the cost of the song Blur, which i fucking love, I'd rather have blur, I also wonder why "Harvey Milk Shit on The Table", wasn't re-recorded like the others. I like it, but id rather have the demos any day.
