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.
