A Kid's Review
This review is from: Lucky 65 (Audio CD)
Eiffel 65's first major release from thier new (and fantastic) album Contact! has been the greatest letdown. The different sounding, "poppy" tune" is okay, but nothing outstanding, as you would expect from a major band like Eiffel 65. Lucky is fairly repetitve and isn't very catching when you first listen to it. I think it was a wise move from the group to create and discover a new sound, but Lucky isn't the best track to choose. Songs such as New Life, I DJ With The Fire, Back In Time and the Depeche Mode inspired Brightly Shines are by far the outstanding tracks from their new album Contact!
The major reason why this has been a flop is because Eiffel 65 have put absolutely no promotion into this single (and album) and consequently is has flopped in most European charts. But it hasn't done all to badly considering Eiffel 65 didn't do a massive amount of promotion for it. In their hometown of Italy they put a lot of promotion into it and it became a successful top 20 hit in the charts and in Canada it went top 30 without no promotion. I doubt that this song will be the first major radio single to be released in the USA in the future, if they bother releasing their new album in the USA. I reccommend you listen to this before you buy...you might be a bit dissapointed.
