[.ca] Do Rabbits Wonder?

youth noise:
I can understand why people don't really like them; I didn't either on first listen. Frankly, I thought that they were junk not worth my money. But, lo and behold, two months later when I gave them another try, I found that they really weren't bad at all. Compare them to the 'youth noise' bands around like 'erase errata' or 'the supreme indiferrence' and you'll see that they are very similar. Great, catchy instrumentals, especially on the bass. While vocals and lyrics could be a bit better, I think that they'll get better with time.

LIKE A TRASH BAG HELMET:
I have seen them open for the White Stripes twice, and I even saw the show in Cleveland that the other guy is talkiing about where the roadies from the stripes- who were dressed in the dapper black and red suits that Jack likes to sport at award shows, not space creatures from the '40's- smothered cake on the drums and wrapped the band in bubble wrap. While their live shows were more about being as ridiculously and hilariously in-the-unsuspecting-audiences-face as much as possible, the album is a little bit toned down. Yes they only have a Bass player and a drummer and the singer does play the synthesizer on a few songs (not as much as they do live) but I found the album to be full of bright spots, in a very post-punk post-grunge clashing. The songs were all annoyingly changed to color titles, so Im going to ignore that and say that "Trash Bag Helmet" is a great song and so is "Mangled Hair." It's fast and hard, but the singer is very audible so you can memorize all the lyrics to impress your friends/inmates.

It's actually just LIKE a trash bag helmet:
I expected no less amount of one star reviews to be listed under this album. Personally, I love Whirlwind Heat and I love their music. To be perfectly honest, I can't recommend it to anybody unless I knew them personally. Quite frankly, their music is not for everyone, and while it gets annoyingly cliched to say they sound like primates equipped musical instruments, it could be true depending on your own individual tastes. I don't think anyone I know who likes Whirlwind Heat (and who wasn't introduced to it with an open mind) liked them at first--it's usually a gradual process in which the realization dawns that "hey. They're pretty damn cool." At any rate, I think the fact they're produced by Jack White puts very much stock into what they would sound like--the only thing it guarantees is that they'll be original. If you're open to original, and are have a pretty stable and broad definition of what is enjoyable, then you may like this album.

Great Cd:
This is an amazing cd. Whirlwind Heat is one of teh best new bands out there. The White Stripes should be opening for them. Every song on here is fun and interesting. Everyone should own this cd, and everyone should listen to the song, Tan, because it's awesome.

Good lord, please shoot them all in the face.:
Have you ever attempted to translate the sounds of dental surgery, construction, and monkey orgasms to "music"? Well if you have, i'm afraid to say that one band has already done it better. That's right, WHIRLWIND HEAT®© has beat you to the punch. These three spastic humanoids will thrill, chill, and enchant you for the most torturous hour of your life while they take the stage and attempt to play consistent music unsuccessfully for an entire 1/24th of a day. The unbelievable energy with which the lead singer chants "make a trash bag helmet" whilst men dressed in 1940's drag wrap him in bubble wrap and his drummer smashes cake on his drumset is simply AMAZING. THE EXCITEMENT....of watching the bass player shake his head left to right in overdrive like a frightened girl about to be raped is almost TOO MUCH TO HANDLE! THE THRILL....of hearing that the band is finally *almost* done playing inspires near-climax in 99% of viewers. THE DECEIT....of assuming the white stripes would bring along an at least passable opening act is unacceptable, scoundrels, scaliwags, KNAVES!!!11 But what's even better, Whirlwind Heat is RECRUITING NEW MUSICIANS! on the billing are a dying cat, a squeaky violin and barbara streissand...apply at www.theworstbandever.die
