12 Cent – “For The Win”
12 Cent – “For The Win” I was excited to get this CD. I thought I had heard a few songs from 12 Cent in the past and liked what I heard. Either I was thinking of another band, there is another band with the same name or they have a new different sound on “For The Win”. This Cd is a Cali-core crusted mall punk smorgasbord of crap. I don’t know if they were trying for something different (which I can respect) by using a piano sound combined with over used distortion peddles on every song or what. It seems like they’re trying too hard & forcing everything and it just comes off as over the top annoying. To quote 12 Cent from their song “Motorcycles” – “Sometimes the stuff that makes us happy is the stuff we don’t get & Sometimes the stuff we get, we want to forget.” Well I got this CD and I want to forget it. To quote a much better band, The Riptides – “Mall Punks Fuck Off!”
