Obesity in rock: S/D

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I only chose the word "rock" in the title because it sounds cooler than "Obesity in music." You might say I'm taking the Spin road. But let "rock" mean all music in general here, in order to include Biggie, Big Pun, Fat Joe, and the Fat Boys into the scope of our consideration.

S: Tad Doyle, Frank Black, Notorious B.I.G., Big Pun

D: Fat Boys, Fat Joe, Meat Loaf (but Search his acting career), Tungsten

Pleasant, direct sounding, low-key pop rock with synths, couple of agreeably moodier moments. Romeo Void it ain't but it's nice enough.

Always used to love Tad for stage diving at the end of his sets. Unsuspecting idiots got bowled over every damn time.
