With most electronic band, there tends to be one song or one album that defines them. Eiffel 65 definately did that with "Europop".
However, there is a difference. The tape version only has thirteen songs, while the compact disc edition has a bonus track known as "Deep Down". It uses Internet terms to describe emotion, which I think is hilarious.
"Blue (Da Ba Dee)" I will admit got WAY overplayed, but it's still a decent song.
"Too Much of Heaven" is a great lyrical work that reflects the way that society has become. Lovin' it to the end.
"Dub in Life" is basically just a dance tune, but good if you're in the mood for something different.
"Living in a Bubble", again, is lyrically sound. Describes what can happen if you don't experience life. Like say, miss another stylin' fad!
Probably my top favorite on the album, "Move Your Body" can get me groovin' anywhere anytime. For those of you keeping track, I prefer the Forge Remix over the album version, but that's just me. Unfortunately, it's the opposite of "Blue"--it gets UNDERplayed.
"My Console" is the basic ode to the Playstation. jschmalzried HATES it when I play this song, but he's been replacing the words with Dreamcast titles, so I guess he can't complain too much...
"Your Clown"...what innocent male victim has ever had to say this to his girl? My guess is probably not too many, but it's still worth a listen for the seriousness of it.
Those who prefer "Another Race" seem to have hit on something. Any time one of my friends starts talking prejudices, I pop in that song and nine times out of ten, they'll shut up. Those who shall remain nameless *cough*DrewRoyer*cough* constantly ignore it, but it's their choice if they want to be seen as insensitive.
"The Edge" is another dance tune. Almost mirrors "Dub in Life", but again, it's different enough for a dance club.
"Now is Forever" could be my class' song (if the egos of the class officers would buck up enough to actually get our opinions on the damn things) for graduation. The lyrics are terrific.
Someone once told me that vocals usually ruin a good song. "Silicon Girl" corrected them quite well. Original piece done well.
"Europop" is hilarious. If you were to burn it on a CD with other songs and, as one was ending, play this track, I can guarantee you, the liberals would be more willing to talk to the conservatives than you. It seriously sounds like Eiffel 65 has transfused their way into your CD player and are controlling what you hear. Awesome sound.
Remember, "Deep Down" can only be gotten on CD.
Because Eiffel 65 is an electronic group, many people tend to throw them into the bottle. Hell, take a hearing at what they've done to Bloodhound Gang and Love Inc. songs! They made the songs that much better.
I leave you with one simple idea that involves complexity. Norton has been approved as Secretary of Interior. George Double You Bush has approved to ruin Alaskan beauty in order to satisfy sport-utility vehicles' hunger for gas. Columbine, International Weed Day, and rumored Senior Skip days all happened on one day. My school is currently poised to terminate the only decent social studies teacher we have and has the egos of the graduating class of 2001 choose our motto, flower, song, etc. without true senior input, and yet they can afford the horrifying iMacs. Wiccans nationwide are thoroughly trashed when few really know about their religion, which I have read up on and use as the basis of how I interact with society. And I'mo tell you something, I'd rather be known as a Wiccan supporter after how some so-called Christians misinterpreted the Bible to mean they could be prejudiced against other religions. Meantime, my PS2 is making WWF Smackdown 2 look sweet, but with no decent games I'm waiting for the next release for wrestling. And people like iloveps2 succeed in p*ssing off tommy_lop while I'm simply ignored.
Politics summarized in 2000: "I'm moving to Canada."
