Pudding Attack -- Lightning Bolt Glamour

So I says to the girl at Acidsoxx, Erica, I says, this disc rocks. So Erica says, yeh. So I says, so? And she says, dig this.
And you know what? I dig it. Pudding Attack has... well... I realize "cool" has been done to death, but I'm going to use it anyway. A self described "dance violence" sound spins slightly different for me. If by "dance" you mean "flail wildly about" and by "violence" you mean "to frenetically and repeatedly shake my thang in the mirror", well then, by golly, they hit the nail on the head!
Seriously though, three different words come to mind for me. Fuzz, synth, and noise. The synth and noise combine to form what I call "electronic hoo hah". It's not so much true synth, and it's not just noise, but it is effectively used in most of these tracks. They're high energy, backed by some solid drums, and usually set to some loud and aggressive bass. The variety is nice as well, as Cali's Beach flirts with a decidedly 60's sound, and Kinky Kat hits an irregular yet attention getting rhythm. The overall sound on this disc is consistent and holds my attention all the way through. There are more than a few discs out there with a few throwaway tracks that you skip through to get to the good stuff. I didn't hear any of those in here. These guys did a good job packin' this thing from beginning to end.

So why did I only give it a B+? Hell if I know... I guess close to greatness and greatness have a veeery fine line that they just haven't quite crossed yet..
