DC3 (Derek Cintron) - Oh...The Drama |
Derek Cintron released this album back in 2001 and Not Lame promptly sold a bunch of them before it disappeared and went out of print. Now DC3 leader Cintron has pressed up a few CD-R copies here to make available once again to Not Lamers. No art work, just the music doing the talking. Check out lead off track "Ride"(soundbite #1 below) and it`s classic rocking Posies-isms. More follows. "Musically, what we have here is an interesting combination of many rock types perhaps all part of the evolutionary process that gets solved over time. With so much talent, Derek currently hits all compass points on the musical map perhaps time will provide him with necessary focus going ahead into the next CD. On Oh..The Drama, Derek might have overextended himself in the variety of styles covered. You get everything from vivid upbeat classic rock to slower ballads to choral pseudo-gospel here. In the stronger songs, you detect direct Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin influences; in some weaker efforts, you hear shades of what could be Loverboy, Foreigner or Ritchie Blackmore filler material. What you`ll hear is nothing less than a good summer CD, fun to play in the car or at the beach. The CD opens with the very catchy "Ride," a classic hard-edged rocking song about just fleeing one`s life by driving across country to California.."Pirate Radio," an anthem to underground broadcasting`s battles against `the man,` is an effective guitar-driven song that trades off a Golden Earring-like rhythm to find its own musical identity. Rock and roll still lives, as witnessed on many of the eleven tracks here." - Fufkin.com
