Fluffy - Black Eye

1\2

Fluffy is loud chic rock. You have to be prepared for that when you press play. Just the guitars alone on the first song Nothing will tell you that they are not joking around.

Awesome guitars, great vocals, pounding drums, heavy bass, everything perfect to make a great 'rock' album. The lead singer, Amanda Rootes, has a voice that just seeps into your ear drums and even sounds great when she's screaming out lust and anger. The four british girls know how to rock and aren't afraid of anything.

The lyrics sound very autobiographical and you can tell that those girls went through some tough times. Lots of songs about bad relationships and strange friends. They're not very discreet so it doesn't take too long to realize what they're talking about. By listening to Fluffy's lyrics, i wouldn't want to mess with them. Some are quite humorous, like the song Cross Dresser and Cosmetic Dog. Most lyrics are full of angst. Like in the song Black Eye, "You will never see me cry","Don't want you to apologize".

Overall, this album was great. Pure music, with no artificial flavors. Loud sounds, and awesome vocals completely makes this album a good one. You can relate the to the lryics and still jump around while listening to the album. There are no slow tracks, just loud sounds throughout the whole thing. It's a great way to end the day.
