Duck, You Sucker

Sorry about the hiatus. All four of us writers are incredibly busy with our multi-billion dollar investments to review shitty bands.

Speaking of shitty bands how about Duck, You Sucker. The only reason I decided to review their E.P. Hallelujah Space Mountain was because it was three songs. I figured it would be quick and painless. Naturally the last song on the album is 7 plus minutes and that is just a pain in the ass. First off I could not figure out of that is how you spell Hallelujah or if this was supposed to be a reggae band (Jah will provide). Spell checker has corrected me, that is how you spell hallelujah.

The first song Oma starts off with a terribly annoying noise, then music starts. Its not bad. It sounds like it could be sampled in a pretty sweet hip hop track. Like the Digable planets or something. I like the fact there is a sax in the band. That does a lot for me. There should be more sax solos and less of the shitty jazz guitar solos. Overall everything sounds cool but there lacks vocals. At the very end of the song someone kind of grumbles what i decipher to be oma a couple times. Lame.

The second song sounds like it could be a Chemical Brothers song. There is a fair amount of movement in the song but nothing really happens at all. I guess i could listen to this while i am on acid or something. Nah, i would rather listen to better music in the scenario that i am on acid. I guess if someone put this on while i was banging, or jerking off or something, i would not immediately tell them to turn it off. So they have that going for them. Being adequate background music.

Then there is the last song, 2001. There is some dreamy spaced out singing which does not do too much for me. But the drums comes in with a really sweet, mellow beat that matches the guitar well. Then the song starts to speed up and its pretty good actually. Closer to the end of this extremely long song the sax has a line that is really cool. Then there is a two minute outro with a therimin or something like that. It has no right to exist.

Overall, the band takes a long time to get almost nowhere. The music is "chill" and these dudes probably smoke too much pot. They should consider getting a better singer or making beats for hip hop artists. But, it is without a doubt cooler to make this music then like experimental dub step or something shitty like that.

3/5 Because they have a saxophone.

Duck, You Sucker, the E.P. is fifty cents. You might as well give it to them. I did not, but you should.
