I guess it's about time for this album for two reasons. The first reason is that I listen to this record daily, the second reason being that I haven't posted anything in a while.
The Anals are from Metz (France) as well as A.H. Kraken (Metz being the new musical Mecca) and they're sharing member Emmanuel Satti who plays guitar in Kraken and synth/vocals in The Anals.
After hearing the 7'', I knew that I had to get myself the album and a band who calls themselves "Best homosexual hardcore" really needs everyones attention.
The track Commando Of Love (previously released on their 7'') is what starts of the album. The third track of this record has to be one of my favorite tracks at this time, She's the Man ("She's the man, I'm the whore") has the amazing beat, melody, vocals and lyrics. This track is the first one I play for friends who haven't heard The Anals yet, and they are often as amazed as I was the first time I heard it.
The lo-fi, dirty synth music of The Anals seems to owe as much to the musical approach of the No Wave-scene as to german band D.A.F (which they mention twice as their influence on their myspace). It's simple, monotonous, dirty, lo-fi, a bit evil from time to time and simply great. The beats are really catchy, the melody (or anti-melodies) really get into your head and are hard to shake off.
This record has tracks and in my opinion there isn't any space fillers just a number of great songs that each is worth the price of this record.
Just have taste on these titles: "Vaginal Death Tunnel", "I Married A Slut", "Girls Just Want To Have Fun", "Wake Up You're Dead".
