View The Review
4 out of 10
If I wanted to be lazy this is how I would review this single:
History of Guns - When You Don't Matter / Slice Up Your Wife (feat. Spice Girls) double a side = two drunk goth guys let loose in a studio (and the studio is one of their bedrooms).
But I will go into more detail than that, plus I think I should quickly add that I don't know whether Max Rael and Del Alien were drunk at the time of making this single, but it sure as hell sounds like they were.
The first track is a mess of sound with awful vocals over the top, I've heard other bands like this, but they weren't as clichéd or stereotypical as this. Then we come to Slice Up Your Wife, which again sounds like a great idea when your off your head, and this certainly sounds like they were. The production of it is terrible and the altered lyrics are very, very bad. The press release states that the idea for the song dates back to 1997, which funnily enough is when doing this version of the song would have been credible, 12 years later means it has little or no relevance in 2009.
The b side Forever is OK but the damage has already been done by this point and I've already thrown the CD out of the window. Just to point out before I finish that I reviewed this CD because I mistook History of Guns for another band with a similar sounding name, whoops!
