Does it Offend You Yeah?

This week in my attempt to improve your music taste I’m making you listen to the awesome tune “Doomed Now” by the the band “Does it Offend You, Yeah?”

Start by realizing there are few songs better than this one and you’ll be on the right track.

I love this dance-rock tune.  It comes off as a well produced, tightly integrated almost artificial sounding song.  But then you realize it’s a drum kit, some guitars, vocals.  It’s just a rock band.  An awesome one.  Sure there’s some blips and beeps mixed in, but I love that.

Remember last week when I told you more songs need vocoder usage?  Well this song took that advice and went balls out with it.  All of the vocals are vocoded and therefore radified to the max, yo.

Now even though I think this song rocks, it doesn’t compare to the album as a whole.  The album “You have no idea what you’re getting yourself into” by this band is honestly one of the best start to finish albums ever.  It mixes dance rock with full on electronic tracks.  You’re doing yourself a grave disservice if you don’t check out this album yesterday.  Someone on Last.FM tagged them as “like robots having sex”.  If you don’t like that, then I don’t want to know you.
