Krokus
Change of Address
Genre: Let’s be The Scorpions!
2.5 out of 5
Why does Krokus sound like Loverboy? Like JUST like Loverboy. That opener, “Now (All Through the Night)” is “Turn Me Loose”, no? Also, Scorpions.
Krokus is that band that I really want to be good and hard and metallic and edgy and, man, they are just so by-the-numbers pedestrian, no?
Lemme check…is there a shitty and unnecessary cover? Oh, yes. (“School’s Out”) Do they bring absolutely nothing to it? Yep.
Just when you think, “Hey…this isn’t a bad example of the form.” (“Burning Up the Night”) you listen to lyrics and think, “fuck, I’d rather listen to the Bay City Rollers than this garbage. No slight to BCR. They are the jam.
Kind of liked “World on Fire”, though. Derivative as it is.
The thing is, outside of Hardware, which I think is overrated, Krokus has, to Listening Post date, not released any album worth a damn. But, they will keep recording until 2013. Which says more about human beings’ ability and desire to consume garbage.
I blame these people for Climate Change. And anti-vaxxing.
