I've put this off long enough, here is my review of Deaf Dumb and Blind by Dot Dot Curve.
Track 1 is called Doctor, and is another generic electronic intro which we see so much of today.
Track 2 is called Snapbacks & Tatts, and it gets straight to the good stuff. Spanky's rapping, but he also screams, which I love. I liked the lyrics a bit less than other stuff recently, but it's mostly brand new, so I'm not complaining.
Track 3 is called Hotelly YPSM remix ft. J Bigga, and I've never heard the original song, so I don't have that to compare it to, which is actually a good thing. It's pretty catchy, especially the chorus, but anything by J Bigga is catchy... well, except the verse in this song.
Track 4 is called Cockroach, which is a freestyle by Spanky, which I'd been hoping for since I'm Still Here. Spanky was great, and I loved the Shining reference. However, due to the roaches in Florida (where I live), I can't say I liked the name at first. I hope to see more freestyles from Spanky in the future.
Track 5 is called Tongue Dance, and is reminds me a lot of Spoonfull Of Sugar off Till The Wheels Fall Off, well, besides the subject matter. This is simply put, a song about making out, but you picked that up from the lyrics.
Track 6 is called BottleAfterBottle Ft. BayBay, and I wasn't into this song the first time, and I'm still not. I like DDC, and I don't mind BayBay, but I just don't like this song. I didn't mind the chorus though.
Track 7 is called PartyOnTheMoon ft. Envy (You know, from Scene Kidz), and while I like the verses, I don't like the chorus. Spanky is growling at a point between screaming and rapping, and Envy is doing that annoying thing where she raps like a little girl with a swearing problem (I never liked rappers that did that). I don't mind Envy, I love obSCENE, but I just didn't like the chorus or Envy's verse... at all.
Track 8 is called Area 51 ft. N!tro, and at first I thought it would be one of those songs that belongs on a N!tro album, but this was a great ending. This isn't brand new, but it feels new to me because I didn't bother to download it when it was free. N!tro has a great verse, and he's a pretty good singer for a rapper. Spanky has a great verse, and chorus, and the song ends, bringing the EP with it.
Overall thoughts: 7/10. While this EP had it's moments, at times I just didn't enjoy it. Nasty was so much better, but I still did enjoy tracks like Snapbacks and Tatts, Cockroach, and Area 51. I was just glad to see 6 out of 8 songs being brand new after Dead Beat.
