4.0 out of 5 stars
Almost smokin
On this debut release the Fn Champs mix it up with the Kraftwerk and the metalizations. The synthy Kraftwerk stuff doesn't really do it for me (though I am a fan of Kraftwerk) but the metal stuff is definitely rocking. The sound is so thick and rectified and the playing is really tight overall. This is very guitar-driven - drums are less prominently featured. The...

A weird band
The Champs, The F*cking Champs, and C4AM95. a metal joke band? or jokey metal band? hmm...perhaps neither. hard to get a handle on these Portland rockers. their musical approach seems to be churning out hard rocking metal riffs with a smirk and a wink. oh gee...aren't we ironic. i think they have a genuine love of hard rock and metal, but this is not for the average heavy...

This review is from: III (Audio CD)
On this debut release the Fn Champs mix it up with the Kraftwerk and the metalizations. The synthy Kraftwerk stuff doesn't really do it for me (though I am a fan of Kraftwerk) but the metal stuff is definitely rocking. The sound is so thick and rectified and the playing is really tight overall. This is very guitar-driven - drums are less prominently featured. The production follows the overall sound and while the guitars are certainly metal, the recording is much more indie and ambient than a standard metal close-mic'd and compressed CD.
Last note: the melodies on this are great!! A very solid start for the champs.

A weird band, September 18, 2005
This review is from: III (Audio CD)
The Champs, The F*cking Champs, and C4AM95. a metal joke band? or jokey metal band? hmm...perhaps neither. hard to get a handle on these Portland rockers. their musical approach seems to be churning out hard rocking metal riffs with a smirk and a wink. oh gee...aren't we ironic. i think they have a genuine love of hard rock and metal, but this is not for the average heavy metal listener. the lack of vocals works well for this sort of thing, considering when they are included here (on a few select tracks) they sound forced and just plain amateur. there are some wicked riffs within this album, but there's also some god awful keyboard stuff that just does not fit the album. this is not bad...but just a really weird record.
