Malo kasnim s čitanjem Dylan Doga iz raznih razloga, ali evo jednog od novijih brojeva, odnosno pretprošli Extra. U ovoj epizodi sam se dvojako osjećao. Prvo sam pomislio čitajući prvu trećinu stripa, da je riječ o izuzetno dosadnoj epizodi, no dojam se u zadnje dvije trećine stripa popravio. Malo me podsjetio kao neki hommage Basket Case filmovima. Neću puno o radnji, ali dovoljno je reči da se naš Dylan bori s vremenom kako se ne bi otvorila vrata pakla i iz njih izašli opasni demoni. Ima gore scena, koje su više offscreen nego u prvom planu, ali dovoljno da zadovolje gore freakove i što je najvažnije, na kraju priča ispadne sasvim u redu i dobro napravljena, crtež također, nije teška epizoda, a opet nije štanceraj samo da se zadovolji forma i da se samo napravi, pa što bude bude. Vi pročitajte ovaj broj, a ja se bacam na zaostatke, pa se javim kada pročitam. Čitamo se.
Zaključak: 7/10 sjekira, nije top epizoda, ali je solidno štivo za pročitati.
Strike Twelve are punk rock band from Southern California and this is their full length album containing 14 songs of nineties influenced melodic punk/skate punk and if I must compare it to some other band it would be Pennywise, but more melodic than Pennywise. Vocals are great so melodic and sweet but backing vocal harmonies are superb too, just check out ‘Brother’, one of my personal highlights on this record. There are some reggae influences in that song and they fit perfectly to the song. This is more nineties influenced skate punk with less philosophy yet at the same time technical, fast and having also pure mid tempo punk rock songs, wicked bass solo and this all would be nothing without great musicianship. Other songs I must mention as my highlights would be ‘Not a Phase’, ‘Baseball Bat’, ‘Isn’t the Same’. I listened this album couple of times in a row, so it was really hard for me to stand out some favorite songs because album as a whole is one big hit and it will melt your face off with melodic punk.
Norway is not only land of metal and fjords, but it also has excellent punk rock scene and Mollygogo are from Bergen, Norway. These guys play melodic punk mixed with ska and reggae parts not unlike bands like Mad Caddies, Less Than Jake and similar. Music is fast and up tempo with many not only ska parts but straightforward melodic punk rock faster parts and just makes you move along with it while listening to this fine record. Saxophone only enriches the sound and makes songs already rich with melody and emotion even richer. Main vocals are excellent, just enough deep and melodic not to be too mellow or snotty, I love it, even reminded me a bit of Chuck Robertson of Mad Caddies in couple of songs like for example ‘St.Lucia’, which is one of my personal favorites on this release. Backing vocal and harmonies sung by other guys fit perfectly to the songs and even made goosebumps on my skin couple of times while listening to the album. There are eleven songs on this little beauty. Lyrics are mainly personal but some can be read between the lines like awesome ‘Peace Talks in Beirut’. I also can say that ‘Famous Last Words’, ‘Only Way’ and ‘Marie’ are highlights for me on this album. This is one of better albums I have listened to in last couple of months.
