This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the BOYS album by HERZOG. Before I get into the album review, let me explain what HERZOG is. HERZOG is a 4-piece band of four men of which HERZOG is a rock band. What HERZOG is trying to do is bring back that Seattle grunge sound that was popular in the 90s in its own way while rising to mainstream success on the Top BillBoard Charts. HERZOG is similar to Weezer, Nirvana, Ash, and Blues Travelers.
On with the album review!
This album was released in 2014 on Exit Stencil Recordings. A label that is currently unknown with me. BOYS was released on CD. This album seems to have a hangover on pop. Meaning that there is heavy pop elements that is prevalent on this album. Taking a listen to this album is similar to a drug LSD experience. Take a puff of that smoke while listening to this album with your friends. It's an experience, metaphorically speaking, that you will not regret. This is also some music to cruise to. Taking it back into the 90s grunge sound is what HERZOG trying to do on this album.
Saint Scrapyard is a track that Nirvana would do. I think it's quite similar to Nirvana. Full Stick is one motorcycle ridin' musical track to ride to. It is one hell of a track! To me, Full Stick should have been renamed to Full Deck instead. Satan is Real is a very wicked track. I expected there to be 11 tracks similar to how many tracks there are on an average Nirvana album since HERZOG is following Nirvana's
format and formula to have 11 tracks on each album. Well that is not true! The BOYS album has more than 11 tracks. BOYS has
As I said before, taking it back into the 90s grunge sound is what HERZOG trying to do on this album. That's why the grunge sound is so prevalent on this album. In fact, there are heavy amounts of pop elements in the rock ballads (songs). Thank you for viewing this review.
I rate this album, BOYS, 5/5*****!
