Our Aim Is to Satisfy Red Snapper

all good.

"I cannot begin to tell you how great Our Aim is to Satisfy... is. It reminds you how much this band still kicks on strong and is more of an improvement and quirkier addition to their catalogue than Making Bones. This is Prince Blimey all over again but with more vocals and electronic music-inspired cues. The two songs that steal the album's thunder a lot include Some Kind of Kink (a suggestive song full of extremely funky basslines, drums, and chaos with a disturbingly creative music video), Belladonna (a calm-tempered song that reminds you of their great acoustics), and The Rough and The Quick (a racy song full of groovy vibes and a sense of dance music wonder not found in the 2010s). Among other songs, Bussing (which has a great opening to any "trip-hop" song I've heard recently) and Shellback (which sounds like Portishead but with more of a funkier flair) steal the show here with the bizarre and danceable The Rake with rapping from MC Det. The way the artwork on the cover, its witty cues, and the music here is presented shows you how much they put into work here to create a full-fleshed album much in the vein of their first album but with more budget. While that is a very rare thing for me to say that a later album is just as good as their original, this one and The Campfire Headphase are a few exceptions. It is no wonder that this album got into the 1001 Albums to Listen Before You Die collection. It's just that good. Nothing more to mention. You'll have to listen to hear it for yourself."

I have to admit. I had no clue what I was getting into when I purchased Our Aim Is To Satisfy Red Snapper. But like so many things in life, the element of suprise can really be refreshing. My first interest in this band(and this album) simply came from the band's name. Come on, you can't tell me that you aren't the least bit interested in a band called RED SNAPPER? Taking to that, I didn't meditate on the CD for a second and bought it(along with some Flogging Molly and Gene Krupa). The result is what my title says, a refreshing electronica band. The sound can best be discribed as a battle of eclectic guitar noise, a barrage of keyboard riffs, amazing break beat drumming, thick bass grooves and some light sampling and scratching(a noticible and welcome change from most turntable heavy electronica). The end result of that those sounds is mix that sometimes is used to create atmospheric grooves(Keeping Pigs Together, They're Hanging Me Tonight) to dance floor hits(Somekind of Kink, Shellback,). The consistant songwriting never shows signs of stagnation as each song continues to get better as the album progresses, making this album a pleasure to listen to. Production, though nothing terribly special, is mixed well enough were every layer can be heard clearly and distinctively. Its varied song style makes it accessible for any mood. Generally, Red Snapper has made an excellent release that any electronica fan should get their hands on. If their aim is to satisfy, then they've certainly acomplished that. I can't wait to see what they do next.

some urban electro beats and jazz rhythms in this album are genuine and easily adds another star. ideal of distant expressions and the capabilities to engage the distant ear..

"Our Aim is to Satisfy" is a darker, moodier album than the previous 'Jazz-dance' album, Making Bones. It features more in the way of synths and orchestral sequences than the the trumpets and bouncy sounds of their previous album. There's no one track that stands out as well as "Image of you" from Making Bones but there are more pieces of a higher and consistent standard throughout. 'Some Kind of Kink' is a true classic, a very bizarre meld of sounds and drumming and is no wonder it's the choice for their first single. The final 3 tracks are slower, moodier and more instrumental than the more soul inspired middle part. "They're Hanging me tonight" being a haunting end to a great album. So buy a copy on CD, then buy another copy on Vinyl because you should have it on display somewhere.

こんなにかっちょいいアルバムが2001年の時点で出てたなんて。 日本じゃほとんど知られてないんじゃ？ 生演奏のトリップホップバンドとして唯一無二。 センス良すぎ。演奏力も完成度も高い。 ロマンチック。

This is a great album, coming in the later snapper years its dark moody sounds are complimented by tight guitar work of David Ayers. This is a serious contender for best snapper album; and a must have in any serious collectors shelf.

Alles bestens! Gerne wieder.

What can I write about an style of music other than if you've never heard them and like electric and rock then give it a go

CD reçu en bon état. Il ne me reste plus qu'à l'écouter pour pouvoir donner un avis plus étoffé
