I'm 51 years old, and can't quite bring myself to love the rap genre, the only thing my son listens to. OPM is quite the refreshing change; Real drums playing great grooves. Happy songs, even if they, like their brethren, Kottonmouth kings, focus a bit much on drugs and alcohol, it is still lyrics that are friendlier than run of the mill hood rap. My favs on this CD are Capitan and Dealer man. All the others are good too. I'm hoping to work up a couple of these in my classic rock band, I know it will get em dancin'!
this cd is probably the worst cd of its genre i hated it. it sounded like the were tryin to hard to be original and have no talent
I heard Heaven Is A Halfpipe on the radio one night and I thought it was pretty good. After that I heard a few more of OPM song's on the radio including Stash Up and El Capitan so I thought about buying their album. And I am extremly happy I did!
I'll do a track-by-track review
1.Stash Up
A song about smoking weed and not giving a f**k about anybody.Nice guitar riff with ska/punk feel but hearing "I don't give a F**k" gets tired.Good song if your p***sed off with someone 8/10 2:58
2.Interlude-Punnany
A really weird electronica song(if you listen to the rest of the album then you'll you will think it's weird) but still fun 7.5/10 0:33
3.Heaven Is A Halfpipe
The essential anthem, perfect for any party and one of the catchiest songs ever. A mixture of hip-hop and alternative that works out very well 11/10 4:18
4.El Capitan
Another very catchy song that's good for a party.Not good,not bad. 7.5/10 3:22
5.Undercover Freak
A okay song with a very strong reggae feel.Not all that good 6/10 3:47
6.Brighter Side
A very pop/rocky song that will cheer up when your down and out
9/10 3:30
7.Better Daze
One of the best song on the album talking about money being the energy source for everything and making the world go around. Sounds alot Everlast's "What It's Like" except better
11/10 3:58
8.Trucha
Another very weird song sung in Spanish or something like that(i don't know). This song also has a very strong reggae feel.Okay not great
6/10 4:01
9.Dealerman
A pretty good song ruled by a guitar talking about a guy who isn't appreciated by anyone but gets along with his dealerman well.A good song to listen to if you feel the world hates you
8/10 3:40
10.Reality Check
A very good song with a very nice r&b/hip-hop feel that would be good for a pool party
10/10 3:57
11.Interlude-Rage Against The Coke Machine
One of the funniest things i've ever heard, it's a little skit about a guy trying to get a Coke but failing to so he ends up smashing the living s**t out of the vending machine.if you listen to this and don't laugh, you must be dead!! 11/10 1:04
12.Unda
An very catchy okay song with ska/punk feel to it.Not bad, not bad at all 7.5/10 2:50
13.Interlude-15 Minutes
One of the most fast-paced song i've ever heard and more addictive than herion, this is pretty good
9/10 0:45
14.Fish Out Of Water
A good song to listen to if you don't want to got to work/school.Extremly catchy with pop feel to it 8.5/10 3:32
15.Sound System
A catchy song which is 50/50 with me
6/10 3:46
My Top 5
Better Daze 11/10
Rage Against The Coke Machine 11/10
Heaven Is A Halfpipe 11/10
Reality Check 10/10
Brighter Side 9/10
An extraordinarly good album, this is one of the best albums ever made and the essential album for a party of any kind
Wonderful CD from start to finish. Starting with "Stash Up" you have an average rock song; go to songs like "Trucha" and "Unda" and you have something new. Trucha is a song with a latin feel but then kicks in with great hip-hop style lyrics. Then with "Unda" you get a cool ska feel. Then take 360 degrees back and listen to "Better Daze" and you have a song resembling that of Everlast. Even though it is a CD mixed with styles, they all seem to flow with each other and all have well written lyrics. A great CD that I would recommend to fans of rock, hip-hop, or punk; all will probably find this to their liking.
Two words: Kick... Wow, i was SO impressed with this album. I think everything has pretty much been said by other reviewers, so all i have left to say is BUY IT!!!
