Mixerr Album Reviews #641

This is Michael Mixerr. Tonight I will review Vallejo - Leftovers.

Leftovers by Vallejo is an overlooked album. Only 1,000 copies Leftovers by Vallejo of were ever pressed on CD. It was really meant to be a digital download album only. This is basically a collection of outtakes and remixes from Vallejo. Leftovers is for all the hardcore Vallejo fans and Latin lovers.

Tono's Montreaux will remind you a lot of Bonzo's Montreaux from Led Zepplin's Coda album!  It's almost exactly like Bonzo's Montreaux which is a drum solo! Tono's Montreaux is a tribute to Bonzo's Montreaux.

XXX 96 Mix was more instrumental than the album version. It will remind you a lot of the local ATX electronic band OHN. XXX 96 Mix was possibly meant to be an instrumental.
Snake In The Grass was on the soundtrack of True Blood. All you True Blood fans should know that!

Natasha appeared on the Japanese version of Vallejo's self-titled album and so did Irishman. For some reason in 1997 when Vallejo was signed to TVT Records, TVT decided to not include Natasha and Irishman on the US version of their self-titled album. TVT sucks!

Dynamite Wack was diss song aimed at Dynamite Hack when they did a shit ass cover version of N.W.A.'s Boys In The Hood. Which wasn't funny at all! Somehow Dynamite Hack got to hit a chart at #12 and #2 on the BillBoard, thus killing any chance for Vallejo's albums to chart back in the year of 2000. Dynamite Hack even made front page news on the Austin Chronicle because of this.

I rate this album, Leftovers, 3/5***.
