│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I still remember the shock in the faces of the ║ │
│║ vast majority of Eurovision Song Contest ║ │
│║ supporters the time LORDI were crowned as ║ │
│║ winners of the 2006 installment. Not, of course, ║ │
│║ because ôMetal music nailed them all down, ║ │
│║ aarrrggghhh!ö but because it was an eerie and ║ │
│║ peculiar feeling to witness something out of the ║ │
│║ ordinary happening in a mainstream happening. If ║ │
│║ only a bunch of teenagers grabbed the chance to ║ │
│║ dive inside Rock/MetalÆs magic through this ║ │
│║ carnival thatÆs a big deal, and credit should go ║ │
│║ to these Finnish æmonsterÆ metallers anyway. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ LORDIÆs music never was û and probably will ║ │
│║ continue to not-be û the result of complex ║ │
│║ songwriting themes tied to scholastic lyrics ║ │
│║ concepts. The spirit of ALICE COOPER/KISS, the ║ │
│║ malice of W.A.S.P. and the discipline of ACCEPT ║ │
│║ and JUDAS PRIEST all mixed in a shock Rock/Metal ║ │
│║ concept with BROTHER FIRETRIBE-alike melodic ║ │
│║ parts seems to be the everlasting directive of ║ │
│║ FinlandÆs most recognizable Metal act to date. ║ │
│║ It should be noted, though, that the æcoreÆ fan ║ │
│║ base of European Metal (talking about non- ║ │
│║ Scandinavian regions, of course) seem to think ║ │
│║ of LORDI as more of a gimmick band with average ║ │
│║ music and nothing more, hence not as ætrueÆ as ║ │
│║ needed to be approved, while an impressive ║ │
│║ percentage of their dedicated followers seem to ║ │
│║ be friends of modern music in general with a ║ │
│║ specific band-orientated tang ID-ying their ║ │
│║ taste in music (letÆs say e.g. PLACEBO, ║ │
│║ METALLICA, U2 and TOKIO HOTEL). Anywayà ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôBabez For Breakfastö is heavy and has ║ │
│║ hardrockinÆ melodies and licks; this is old news ║ │
│║ to many. The vocals are metallic and with a ║ │
│║ GRAVE DIGGER-ish flavor while the guitars are ║ │
│║ traditional and sharp with no surprises; the ║ │
│║ same goes for the precise solo work. Hence, the ║ │
│║ role of the bass/drums parts is relevant; all of ║ │
│║ these resulting in an album counting many songs ║ │
│║ of æradioÆ duration dressed in the trademark ║ │
│║ LORDI theatrical style (the successful use of ║ │
│║ keyboards layers helps in this direction). The ║ │
│║ monsters/horror/gore Rock formula in the lyrics ║ │
│║ is again present and whoÆd complain really? The ║ │
│║ music is a solid ball of rock and the production ║ │
│║ is broadened and polished but not lame. ôThis Is ║ │
│║ Heavy Metalö stands out as the leader among the ║ │
│║ songs listed (itÆs the albumÆs first single, ║ │
│║ too) with its in-your-face OZZY-meets-KISS ║ │
│║ ôprovocativeö manifestation aiming to what ôHard ║ │
│║ Rock Hallelujahö did four years ago. I loved ║ │
│║ ôRock PoliceöÆs melodic approach or ôLoud And ║ │
│║ LoadedöÆs rockinÆ declaration even better, ║ │
│║ though! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ LORDIÆs musical value should be graded better ║ │
│║ than assumed; and I pity the fans and even the ║ │
│║ band themselves for supporting a promotion ║ │
│║ mainly having to do with their costumes and a ║ │
│║ Eurovision-stamped CV. ôBabez For Breakfastö is ║ │
│║ a good album. Not average, not bad of course, ║ │
│║ but not impressive or mythical either. I think ║ │
│║ all LORDI releases (excluding the near-perfect, ║ │
│║ in my opinion, ôThe Monsterican Dreamö), past or ║ │
│║ present, will deliver the ægoodÆ imprint anyway. ║ │
│║ Predictable yet good hardrockinÆ Metal music ║ │
│║ from a humorous and/but reliable band; is that a ║ │
│║ minus?s ║ │
