Review: Nega - dig

I managed to stop lol'ing enough to review it.

01. death warrant
02. idle
03. guilt trip

So we have the other half of Nega's double release campaign and I have to say after a few listens this CD is the better of the pair. It comes with death warrant, which is still an opener but it doesn't fail. It just sucks. The haunting piano melody that it starts out with was a nice touch to the album but it doesn't go anywhere. It repeats until it tires itself out and the novelty wears off. Now if Nega had made a decent song out of it then this single would be infinitely superior to ill, but as of now it's just better.

idle to me is the only good song that Nega released out of the six they recorded, and it's the main reason why dig is better than ill. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end for one. It's transitions from hard to soft, while still suckish and in need of improvement, work and fare better than in labia, and Jin's singing isn't utterly atrocious and the lyrics aren't laughable. This is the only song I recommend you listen to.

guilt trip is a wreck. It starts out soft and it's obviously a ballad about, iono, GUILT, and it does well for seven minutes. Had it ended right there I would have called it a nice ballad that lacked a little bit of energy but overall is worth a listen. In the last minute, Jin manages to singlehandedly steal the show and shit all over the hard work with his UNGAAH-ing. I can understand what he was attempting to do and I give him props for his musical "genius" but he should realize that he only knows how to scream one way and that's his simulation of upchucking on the microphone. And in some songs (like muddy cult) he does it well and in other songs, like this, it fails. He should have just shut up.

If you want some lulz play it. Otherwise, I guarantee you embarassment if you listen to it on stereo.

dig is a better single than ill, but that's because the former has one decent song while the latter has none that can compare. Here's hoping to Grave of the Sacrifice that the song guilt trip has a re-recording that does it justice. 2.5 out of 5
