"They cannot escape, one if by land, two if by sea, i saved my money, but it can't save me."
Dissapointed I know you are! Chariot lead singer Josh Scogin explodes repeatedly to end the first song "Evan Perks" on Long Live, but I have know I idea what he's talking about because this album is anything but disappointing. A ten song half hour dose of NO-XPLODE in music form, I'm doing overhead tricep extensions with my PC console as i type this. not really. but really. not really. Furious guitars, flame-thrower drumming, devasting growls, chants, and a little spoken word poetry for good measure. The one flaw in the album, is at the end of Calvin Makenzie when they sample a 50's style radio jingle that ruins one of the better breakdowns on the cd, it has no business on anywhere near the album, and felt forced and weird for the sake of weird. ok enough about the 4 bad seconds of this cd, because thats it. The band had some sort of contest on their myspace blog, that promised a prize for the 5 listeners to have songs on this album named after them, which explains the titles "Evan Perks, Andy Sundwall, Calvin Makenzie, David De La Hoz, and Robert Rios; imagine your favorite band naming a song after you, thats so legit. The music video for "David De La Hoz" is as fair as I know, the actual one take live recording that is on the album,that takes you on a journey of the studio while the chaos erupts, mustard stands by idly, creepers creep creepily reading creepy poetry with mustaches and drums everywhere. (link at the bottom of the page.) "The City" calls for a revolution as Scogins panicked screams beseeches listeners to "stand hand in hand, and walk without fear;" while on "Andy Sundwall," cries "WE'VE GROWN BORED OF YOUR WAYS, WE WANT MORE," and once you've finished listening to this album you'll be joining me in exclaiming " LONG LIVE THE CHARIOT!"
Favorite Tracks - "The City," "Andy Sundwall," "David De La Hoz," and "Evan Perks"
For Fans Of - Norma Jean ( ADUUH! Poor Schmity) Maylene and Sons of Disaster (not really), Heavy Heavy Low Low (prior to that toxic shock BS), Revolutions (minus the industrial revolution of course) and Parenthesis ( . )( . ) <---boobs.
