DROP JOY - Situational Ethis:
by Anna
Pirhana
Without a
doubt, Nicki Walker's voice is so raw and honest that it demands the
listener's attention. If the material with which she worked matched her
undeniable talent, DROP JOY might be stampeding towards an unlimited
future. The band is talented and has made a home in a musical niche that
blends folk, rock and punk. The music is catchy, teetering along an edgy
line that fuses so many different styles. The problem, however, are the
lyrics. As indepth and truthful as it may wish to present itself, the use
of certain repetitive lyrics become annoying. Walker's lovely voice gets
lost in this whirlwind of repetitive lyrics, almost forcing you to shut of
the music to make it stop. Still, "Situational Ethics" is worth a listen,
if only to get in tune with the great potential this band has if it just
abides by honesty without trying too hard.
