Yeah, we, too, had a hard time believing that this was a Diet of Worms side project. From bright bombast of the opening track “Hearts & Diamonds,” it was obviously one of those Simple Minds/Psych Furs sorta phrases that set the mood for that unmade John Hughes movie in our mind. Then we had to look at the stats again. Is that Damond Jiniya singing, the new guy in Savatage? What’s going on here? This ain’t your mother’s Diet of Worms!! (read that back to us…). Well, if your lucky enough to score a copy of this before all the metal collectors scarf this up, you’ll find singer/guitar stroker Ryan Michalski actually fronts this loose aggregation of synth pop, techno lite, and ramshackled rock tunes patched and puttered by DoW’s Punchy. The potential clash of Michalski’s pop tendencies with Punchy’s industro-rampage never really materializes, of course, leaving this somewhere leveled between the two, sounding a little like Beck fronting a tour with Pigface. Some listeners may find this a puzzling combination, especially with a scurvy techno rhythm pounding against a choir resounding its ethereal “fxxx you” chorus during “Love You” here. A special “check this out” postnote for those folks who dug A Certain Ratio. Very scattered brilliance.
