Dot Dot Curve :) I'm Still Here Review!!!

Dot Dot Curve has been my favorite band for over 2 years now. They started out with a lineup of just Spanky. Then Jayreck joined. For the most part they always played crunkcore, but then Jayreck left, and they released a music video for the song, Fruit Rolled Up. This song represented a major change in DDC's song style, because ordinarily, DDC made crunkcore stuff, but this could only be described as hip hop. If you're like me, you wanted to know what the rest of the album was gonna be like. So I pre-ordered the new DDC album on may 2nd, and it should have shipped may 24th, but it didn't ship, and so I finally got fed up and cancelled the order. I just went and bought it at Hot Topic.
So here, finally, is my review of Dot Dot Curve's I'm still here.
The first track is an intro called Yur Kidding. It's basically some guys (presumably DDC playing other guys), smoking and talking about how much DDC sucks, which reminds me a lot of the intro to Till The Wheels Fall Off, which was called Hanh!. Anyway, a good intro to the album, which ties in with the first song.
The second track on the album is a song called We Nice, and man, it is good to hear some screaming after hearing nothing new by DDC but Fruit Rolled Up since the announcement of the album. Pop Off was good, but it doesn't really count, since it's not on the album.
The third track is called Koolaide and it's good, and it reminds me a lot of the original DDC, y'know, aside from Young Chi being on the new album. My argument that this is better than Fruit Rolled Up, is that it's not strictly about drugs. I don't know why, but this song makes me want to drink Koolaide, in hopes that it will make me as cool as Spanky.
The fourth track on the album is Fruit Rolled Up, a drug rap, and the first new song DDC released since Your Ears Will Bleeping Bleed. This track was very different from anything on Till The Wheels Fall Off, or Your Ears Will Bleeping Bleed, because DDC went from making songs with all screaming like This Is Halloween, to a song with all rapping. Before this song, the only songs they had about drinking or drugs, were Spoon Full Of Sugar, and Stoner Boy Swag, but now they've had a lot more songs about drugs. Personally, I liked the days of mostly screaming better, but this was still an okay song.
The fifth track on this album is a song called What The Future Holds featuring Potent Da Rockstar, and honestly, for a song that's mostly rap... it's REALLY good. There's barely any screaming though and it's kinda weird, like it's been edited.
The sixth track on the album is a prelude called Titty Milk, and it's about a guy at Hot Topic, looking for the new DDC cd, like me! :) Only difference was, he didn't like it.
The seventh track on the album is called Shake Your Titties Featuring J Bigga, and for a song about shaking titties, it's pretty good. I like it mainly because J Bigga is in it, and because the song is mostly J Bigga, other than that, the song really doesn't stand out that much, but it's good.
The eighth track on the album is called Gigga Dee. The song is great! The only thing I didn't like about it is that Spanky needs to brush up on his horror movie history. He says "I can chop and screw you like Freddy with my machete". Get a clue Spanky, Freddy has knives for fingers, Jason carries a machete. I know, I know, it rhymes, but being a horror movie fan, I absolutely HAD to point that out.
The ninth track on the album is called Stop, Drop And Roll Featuring JJ Demon. It's a pretty good song, but I don't like JJ Demon's part. I can't say why, but I just don't like it.
The tenth track on the album is called I'm Weird, and if Spanky had proved anything to me in this album, it's that, one, you can change your style a bit, and not be a sellout, AND that you can be weird AND AWESOME!! It's a really good song, and yes Spanky, you are a weirdo, but you're still my favorite!!
The eleventh track on the album is called Take A Nap, and it is my favorite song on the album because of all the screaming! It's a f**king awesome song, and Spanky has proved to me that he is still hardcore!!!
The last real song is a freestyle by Young Chi called YCB Notes. YCB I'm assuming means Young Chi Baby. It was good, but I would like to see a freestyle from Spanky in their next album. 
The last track is an outro called You're Snoring ZZZ, and I don't know what to think of it, because basically, I don't understand what was going on.
Well, that wraps up my review of Dot Dot Curve :)'s third album I'm Still Here. Thank you for reading, and be sure to keep up, for a new review may be coming soon.
