The Filthy
Horror Show CD Review
by Nathan Summers, Host of Rocky Radio
Ok, here's my honest
assessment of this cd. Please do not take offense
if I gave you a bad review. it's not personal and
ONLY my opinion, so while I may hate it, others may
love it. Just wanted that out of the way. Don't
like my review?
Read KevJB's here.
So here's my review and in no
particular order (this is how they were in iTunes):
Eddie by Alex
Tornado
First thought is he's playing a Gretsch, by the
sound. Great rockabilly sound. Not sure if I like
the voice or not. Should have had some effects
during the chorus.

Hot Patootie
by Billy Ruffian
First move away from the mic. The vocal is
overpowering the music, which I love, but the lead
singer's voice is too loud to be enjoyable. Kept it
close to the original. No sax solo, but the guitar
is ok.

SciFi/DF by
Captain Polaroid
I like this one. Very Bowie-esque.

Touch-A,
Touch-A Me by Colette McKendrick
Lovely voice. I mean that. The guitar, not so much.
I love the chorus on the bridge and chorus. Adds a
lot to the song.

Dammit Janet
by Control-R
This is a great song. He (Brad) truly encompasses
the asshole aspect and I mean that in a good way.
The only thing I do NOT like is he uses a callback
(Oh .... SHIT) and that kind of killed it for me,
but it's still done VERY well.

I'm going
Home by FAUXfoe featuring Dorian Wood
I'm not really a techno fan. Anyone remember
Damian's "Time Warp"? 'Nuff said about this one. I
am not saying it's bad, but I hate techno sounding
music, so I am against it based on that.

Sword of
Damocles by Glasgow Glam Bangers Feat. Scunner
As a former Rocky, I love all aspects/songs that the
Rocky character would have. This is, however, NOT
one of them. Too drab. Too boring. I am falling
asleep listening to it now.

Rose Tint My
World by The Housewives
I hate the guitar. I hate the organ. I hate the
pace. I hate the fact that they re-wrote the song.
Someone tell me where, in any OTHER version of this
song do we hear "Rose Tint's My World That Keeps Me"
repeated over and over as the chorus? I hate this
version.

Over At The
Frankenstein Place by Kelly Kapowski
Has potential, 34 seconds in. Wow. I like this one.
I would like to have heard the original versions
used ("I can see the flag fly..."), but all in all,
this is a decent sounding track. Good job!

Super Heroes
by Kissing Kalina
Two seconds in and I do NOT like it and I LOVE big
drums. Wait, there's the vocal. Nope, don't like
this one so far. Kind of hard on the ears and this
is ONE track that doesn't really get better with the
use of vocal effects.

Charles Atlas
Song (which they call I Can Make You A Man) by Later
This just flat out sucks. No saving grace for this
one. Not worth the free download. My 6 year old
could do a better job. Was the record popping and
feedback intentional? If so, WHY? This version
SUCKS.
Rating:

Sweet
Transvestite by Roman Rappak featuring Ian Sampson
Too many vocal processors and effects. He sounds
bored recording this. I know I'm bored listening to
it.

Planet
Schmanet Janet by Scunner
I LIKE THIS ONE ... except the end. Just killed it.
Damn, I liked this one too. But the end sucks a
dick.
Rating:
  
Floorshow/Fanfare/Don't Dream It (Be It) by The
Sexual Hot Bitches
This is what it would sound like if a Gwen Stefani
wannabe with an effect on their mic was screaming
and annoying. Oh, yeah, if you are going to yell 1,
2, 3, 4 and then NOT go into something that rocks,
well, don't yell it. This song is fucking annoying.
Sorry.

The Time Warp
by Shock and Awe
My LEAST favorite track. Boring, boring boring. Boo!
This just really must have been filler for this CD.
Did no one else submit a song? This is fucking
ridiculous. Is that a MIDI backing track? Christ,
this sucks. 1:10 in and I am turning it off. Do NOT
waste your time with this one. Not even worth having
in a collection.
Rating: I REFUSE TO RATE THIS PIECE OF SHIT
I Can Make
You A Man (Reprise) by The Star Fighter Pilot
Um ... it started with something about "how we do it
in Palestine", which has exactly .. well, nothing,
to do with the movie. This song is bad. I hope they
get better. This is a sad sad day. Why re-write it?
Fuck this song. Next ...

Once In A
While by Start The Fans Please!
Haven't even hit play yet, but I have HIGH hopes for
this one since it's NOT heard that much. Nope. it
sucks. Why do all these people singing sound so
fucking bored with doing this? Why even bother?
Rating:
SciFi/DF (Reprise) by Wojtek Godzisz
FUCK YES! THIS is what it's supposed to sound like.
This is my NEW favorite track from this collection!
BRAVO!!! Incredibly well done. Captures the essence
VERY well! I LOVE this version!!!
