After a little more than a week of owning De Phazz‘s new album Natural Fake, I’m not as excited as I was at first. Maybe that has to do with how much I listened to it. But altogether, I have noticed that many songs are much more repetitive than their previous work. And repetitive = boring. The CD has been fairly successful at putting me to sleep on several occasions, which may have some merit. :) But listening to it today right before listening to some songs by Cargo Cult reminded me that there’s sometimes more to a good song than what Natural Fake delivers. Hear you me, the album doesn’t suck. I like it. It’s just a bit short of the mark that was set by, say, Death by Chocolate.
Anyway—keep on rockin’. 8) ;)
