The Visitors – “Lost On The Globe”
The Visitors – “Lost On The Globe” – The themed concept of this band is to have each song be created around a geographical location, hence the name “The Visitors”. Usually I take a look at conceptional themed music and run the other way. However, when you have the talented song writing of Skottie Lobotomy from such great bands as The Creeps (another themed band) & The Riptides, then it’s worth a listen. Well after I listened to this theme concept album, I’m glad I didn’t hop in my hotrod and hightail it out of Dodge. The entire 11 songs of “Lost On The Globe” have a revved up Ramones inspired pop punk feel that mixes whoa ohs, yeah yeah’s & harmonizing back vocals. The title song “Lost On The Globe” is a prime example of mixing all of the aforementioned effects with perfection and makes getting lost a pleasant experience. Another highlight of this album is the introduction to the vocals of female vocalist & Bassist “ANTARCTIC-CAT da GAMA, M.Sc.” taking the lead on “Spain“& “Sydney Snakes” while putting “SKOTTIE MAGELLAN’S” vocals in the backseat for that leg of the exploration . The combination of ANTARCTIC-CAT da GAMA, M.Sc’S raw vocals and Skottie’s scratchy back vocals make for an incredible interlude of punk energy and harmony. This Ontario Canada based band travels the globe through your brain and when the journey ends you’re already planning you next trip with The Visitors. My favorite traveling destinations of this round trip are “Crusin’”, “Lost On The Globe” & Spain”, but when the destinations are as good as this, there isn’t a bad stop on this trip. 5/5
P.S. As a side note The Visitors would like you to know;
Contrary to popular belief, the Visitors do NOT care for pirates, nor are we associated with them in anyway.
While we respect their love for the sea and think their eye-patches and peg-legs are timeless accessories, quite frankly, we find their tendency to "plunder first and ask questions later" attitude to be quite childish.
