iTunes Review
Toronto’s Fucked Up are stars of the current punk-without-a-hyphen scene. Following widespread praise for 2008’s Polaris Prize-winning Chemistry of Common Life, the band took a surprise turn and wrote a punk-rock opera. The narrative of David Comes to Life is not easy to follow, but the love story (with notes of political activism, we think) requires female vocals, and hearing singer-songwriter Jennifer Castle and Cults’ Madeline Follin chirruping between the bruising guitars, brutal drums and steel wool vocals of Damien Abraham (a.k.a. Pink Eyes) is but one of the record’s charms. Picking a track is not easy, but try “Serve Me Right” for a sample of the thick guitar hookage that is at the core of the band and this effort: it’s a ridiculous amount of sound, expertly pressed into an aural sandwich of tasty layers — like a super meaty, fat-dripping panini ... but better. Kudos to producer Shane Stonebeck for wrestling something that approaches excess into something that is not only palatable, but is pretty much a joy to listen to.
Customer Reviews
David Comes to Life.
Who could ask for a better album? Dynamic Happy-Hardcore. Fierce male vocals. Sunny female vocals. A four Act Dramatic Musical. Couldn't ask for anything more. 9/10.
by the balls
I'm an old man (44 yrs old), and this is one of the first punk bands I can't stop listening to since Husker Du. I listen to this album over and over again when I work out. Over and over again. Ship of Fools over and over again.
This is quite possibly the best album of 2011!
The most melodic (can I say that when I'm writing about F*cked Up?) album yet. The most accessible hardcore album ever. I was a fan already... but David Comes to Life just solidified this band's greatness and importance! Best album of 2011!
