Disappointment
Posted August 17, 2010
By jdonken,
I know Black Thorn is already released for a while, but a few days ago it was the first time I heard it on the radio in the Netherlands.
Since the first time i heard Flatfoot 56 playing I loved the band.
Songs like brotherhood and knuckles up turned me loose.
The reason I love Flatfoot 56 is because of the celtic influences.
The celtic influences that turn me loose.
In every album, from The rumble of 56 to Jungle of the midwest sea, you could hear those influences.
When I saw here on NewReleaseTuesday that they were going to release a new album; I was really looking forward to it.
On the day the album was released I visit the youtube site to hear all the tracks, but after listening for a long while it did really disappoint me.
There weren't much tracks with a mandolin or a bagpipe solo.
I think that was a little bit killing, because there are some nice tracks on it like son of shame, blackthorn, stampede and smoke blower, which features a nice bigpipe tune.
After all the more "celtic" albums Black Thorn is different.
Not that it's super bad or something, but it didn't turn me loose and that really sucked.
When I'm going to play soccer I always listen blood&sweat and knuckles up before the match.
I'm playing as right wing defender and if I listen to those songs; I'm playing like there's no tomorrow.
After all the fast beat albums, Black Thorn disappointed me.
Of all the tracks on the album only stampede, black thorn and smoke blower could be played on a concert.
The reason of that is that you can't do a wall of death or a pit when you hear a song like courage or way of the sun.
Things like the wall of death are essential things for a real flatfoot 56 concert.
So I hope their next CD will be more like what their previous albums.
I also hope that the disappointment from now will disappear when their next album will be released!
