MP3 REVIEW: Megafauna “Maximalist” (Danimal Kingdom)



             Upon first hearing this album, I found myself wanting to sing along with some of the songs and I think that is just a pure testament as to how infectious these tunes can be.  On a broad level, Megafauna combines the classic rock n roll past (anywhere from Led Zeppelin to Buddy Holly to Nirvana) with a modern band such as One-Eyed Doll.

            What is difficult about describing the music of Megafauna is that they can be all over the place- in terms of time frames- yet at the same time, they are rather modern even when they let their past influences show.   There are certainly hints of a modern rock band ala Letters to Cleo in here or the such, but Megafauna does just an excellent job of combining past, present and future to create a sound all their own and I love this album for it.
