Children - Strange Chameleon 11 Yuta. Smilies are On. Trackbacks are On. Pingbacks are On. Refbacks are On. And both bands displayed a sharp, inexplicable descent into mediocrity, it not outright awfulness, through releases that failed to live up to their early successes. Actually, such a comparison does disservice to The Pillows; while Weezer had only two universally well-loved albums, The Pillows released five consecutive records of outstanding alternative rock, in addition to the excellent but stylistically different albums of the first half of the s.
To its credit, Penalty Life is certainly an album that aspires to do something different. Compared to its stylistically inconsistent predecessor, Penalty Life feels considerably more unified and works well as a whole.
The band tries new things, incorporating a twangy sound that wobbles between rockabilly and surf rock. Freebee Honey is an outstanding high-energy rocker that mercifully allows the listener to forget the disappointing tracks that preceded it, with its roaring chorus and great instrumental section. Like the preceding album, Penalty Life suffers from bad production, and this song in particular would have really benefited from a warmer, more dynamic sound.
Fortunately, if the listener is patient enough to stick with the album through the end, there are some other good songs mixed in with the mediocre or bad tracks.
I Know You has a rockabilly twinge to it, the only cut on the album to pull it off successfully; the entire song is good and has a great solo from Manabe to supplement its sing-along chorus.
The former track is a surfabilly instrumental, and it works better than other attempts at this style, with an enjoyable hook. In some ways, Penalty Life is a more admirable album than its predecessor, even though Thank You, My Twilight had better songs overall. Tweet Recent reviews by this author. The Pillows Kool Spice.
