album reviews                      iopop

hello! due to lack of time and money,
and total lazyness. i just have one
review this time.
and it's:


             deaf dumb blind

               clawfinger
----------------------------------------
this cd is over one year old. but it's
still on some selling charts. clawfinger
is a swedish-norwegian group. which had
it's first hit with nigger. they were
also warm up band for ANTHRAX during
there tour last year. right now they
have been touring in germany together
with the band teddybears.

the cd has 10 tracks and it's just 39.52
minits. little short but anyway good
tunes.

nigger                         3.47 min.

the first single out from this album.
it's about why black people call them-
selfs niggers. good text! some nice
scratches here and there in the tune.
a normal hit tune.

truth                          4.13 min.

the second single. starts with guitars
and later the rapping comes in. this
tune is not that good like nigger. some
sound fx in this tune too.

rosegrove                      4.03 min.

the intro starts with some drums. later
comes the guitars  together with some
cool scratches. cool and powerfull tune.
and a refrain that you have in your
mind after hearing it.

don't get me wrong             3.12 min.

real cool intro.too hard to describe it.
it's a funny thing lying over this tune.
cool stereo effects if you listen to it
with head phones. this tune is one of
the best ones on this album.

i need you                     4.58 min.

starts slow , and later it turns out
to be a normal slow heavy metal tune.
in my opinion one of the weaker tracks.

catch me                       4.39 min.

this is even slower. this is a relaxed
tune. with a funky feeling over it.
the rapping is cool. the text is about
a suicide. guitars and fx in this one
too.

warfair                        3.44 min.

this is the third single which came for
about 2 months ago. the version on the
single is the cybersank mix and this one
is the original. and the one on the
single is much better. because there is
much more synth beats and such effects.
cool text.

wonderful world                2.41 min.

this tune starts directly without intro.
a fast one. real guitar hip-hop. the
refrain is like a break in this tune
where a classic guitar appears toghter
with the usual scratches.

sad to see your sorrow         5.17 min.

this is also a hip-hop tune with more
rapping then on the other tunes. this is
the longest tune. but theres also much
text and it's not that fast. the text
is about a girl which are taking drugs.

i don't care                   3.11 min.

cool begining. sounds like a normal
clawfinger tune. but it's not bad for
that. it really sounds like they hired
axl rose to sing the refrain.


                -- -- --

this album is surely worth the money.
and why i liked it is that clawfinger
have done a wonderfull combination of
rap, heavy metal and techno!

i really look forward for there next
album.

i give this 8 out of 10.

----------------------------------------

  we end this chapter with a text from
               the album.


                 nigger

        good damn my man you see
           i can't understand
       why you wanna say nigger to
            your brother man
           talking black pride
     and you call yourself a nigger
        don't bring yourself down
        cos it just don't figure
         take a look at yourself
            and your history
     you don't look like a good damn
              nigger to me
             it's a negative
     word and the white mand made it
           gave you a name to
          dominate and trade it
        making blood money of his
            very own race man
         and all of this because
       the color of your face man

     nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger

         placed and educated in
        a neighbourhood of crime
     taught from the beginning that
         you weren't worth time
        liqourstroe and gunstore
           next to on another
      with only one purpose so you
           all kill each other
            leaving one less
         problem to worry about
        that's the way they do it
        this is how it truns out
           and justice for all
      with the american government
       i wanna know where all the
           gooddamn money went
          we didn't see it and
          it didn't do no good
        i guess you couldn't give
    a fuck aout a black neighburhood

     nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger
    nigger, you're the real niggers,
         you're the real niggers

         there's always gonna be
          fanatical minorities
          the ku klux klan and
          fucked up authorites
           conservative cunts
         and religious preachers
          i don't care cos they
            ain't our techers
         living a life they say
            is free from sin
         then they judge another
    person by the color of their skin
        i feel ashamed of myself
         i'm a WHITE human being
          surrounded by suckers
         to afraid to be seeing
           there ain't such a
       thing called superior race
         and there ain't nothing
   special 'bout the color of you face
       you've got a one way ticket
          to a dead end street
           the pressure is on
            so feel the heat
        media pollution is a very
              bad sollution
            hypocritical hype
        is your only contribution
            so leave us alone
    and give your brothers some space
           cos you're a lousy
     contribution to the human race

          nigger, nigger .....
