Go-Bang's - Dangerous Charms

Go-Bang's - Dangerous Charms
RCA BVCR-623
1993.06.23

This album certainly doesn't feel dangerous or particularly charming. In fact it feels pretty uninspired in the beginning. it does have some highlights though, which i'm glad i stuck around for. While it starts with a bland-feeling paint by the numbers blend of girls garage rock and 50's doo-wop style pop (which might sound good as a description, but when its bland and uninspired, its not), the middle tracks do have some vibe.. hitting a more soulful malt shop track with ラブ・ショック at track 5, followed by two songs with a more guitar driven, surfy, rockabilly-esque sound. Track 9'sビューティフルーティー has a more barbershop, a capella style vocal line that gives it a little bit of energy and 10's 狂った天使 gets a little grungy, alternative rock style, which might actually be the best track on the album. No, it's definitely the best track on the album. a standout for sure. The album closes in an unexpected piano track that feels significantly more intimate than the rest of the album and features a beautiful vocal line.

Buy It.
