Bobgoblin - Love Lost For Blood Lust: Part I








I can't decide what's worse: the music, the lyrics or the fact that Bobgoblin take themselves so seriously; so we'll use the patented fudfw point system to determine why we hate them so much.

The Music
  • pop-punk (-10)
  • “whoas” (+3)
  • keyboard sounds borrowed from The Rentals (+1)
  • occasionally borrowed voice of Anthony Kiedis (-5)
  • complete lack of balls (-5)

The Lyrics
  • the entirety of Feel No Pain (-5)
  • Stomp and Go! Prescribe and Conquer! Through the Skies, through Veins, through Water!” (+2)
  • use of the words “twas” and o'er” (-2)
  • using a eulogy as lyrics (-4)
  • robotic voice-over at the end of the record (-2)
  • a 16-year-old's vocabulary (-4)
Self-Importance
  • needing a setting and back story for a 6-track EP (-5)
  • thinking that you're from the future (+2)
  • the descriptions at the beginning of each song to let you know what the fuck they're singing about and why (-15)
  • the fact that they thought they had enough to say that they put out an album after a 14-year hiatus (-10)
  • the fact that it's part 1 of 2 (-500)


Well, there you have it folks. Clearly the worst thing about this record is that it was made by Bobgoblin, a band that should have died in some sort of pyrotechnics accident a long time ago.
