MP3 REVIEW: Dinosaur Dinosaur “The Gulf”

                What begins sounding like Fleetwood Mac with some distortion added in (I dubbed it Fuzzwood Mac) can become a bit of pop with those hints of dance and rock both.   I feel like “The Gulf” is something that I’ve been waiting a long time for and, well, it kind of is just that. 

                Okay, maybe it hasn’t been that long as it was all within the past year, but sometimes I get impatient when it comes to music and I do feel like I’ve been waiting forever, yet I often also feel overwhelmed by how music is generally on my plate.

                What I like about Dinosaur Dinosaur, which they flawlessly display on “The Gulf”, is that they are a cross between Madonna and Garbage.  I never really find myself singing any Garbage songs to this album, but sometimes I hear enough of the vibes coming out where I’ll hum “My baby’s got a secret”.

                Still, Dinosaur Dinosaur has managed to take two styles of music that are quite different and combine them in a way that sounds great to these ears.    Even if you’re not a fan of a band such as Garbage or a singer/actress/whatever such as Madonna, the two ingredients mix so well that you don’t have to like them individually to appreciate the combined sound.  

                Perhaps that is the true testament to exactly how innovative and genius this album is. 


The Gulf is available as a Name Your Price Download but I recommend a $5 donation.
