Skip The Foreplay - Nightlife (Album Review)

WE ARE... SKIP THE FOREPLAY!!!!! The opening line of the intro of the album, 'ST4P', which got any listener pumped for one of the most brutal electro metal albums ever. Skip The Foreplay is a band who really gets to the point in their lyrics and in their musical presence. Nightlife is their debut album and it is released off of one of my favorite record labels, Epitaph Records. Aside from their fairly offensive album cover, this album was vey properly done, and it seems as this band is going to be a force to be reconed with in the metalcore scene even though STF is know as an Electro Metal group. The band consists of Marc-André Fillion on vocals, Chuck Pilon on lead guitar, Mathieu Maltais on rhythm guitar, Julien Guy-Béland on bass, Marc-André Lemyre on drums, and Jean-Michel Aumais as the bands DJ. If you can't tell by their names alone, STF are from Montréal, Quebec, Canada and have been around since 2010. Nightlife is their first full length album but they did have an EP in 2010 which only had three of their songs on it, which all of them made it on to Nightlife. All the music on the album as original material accept for the final song on the album 'Champagne Showers' which is a LMFAO cover. Dispite very ridiculous song titles like 'Dinner With Snooki' and 'Date Rape Predator' this album did not feel like a debut album. Even though this band still has much room to grow, it felt like they knew what they were doing on this record, and I believe that is why such a major label like Epitaph would sign them so soon. Lyrically they deffinattly they need to grow but as for musically and Fillion's vocals were spot on and his screams were as good as any seasoned screamer. The bands music was anything but sloppy, they felt so together on this record. Going over everything about this album I am going to give it an overall rating of
4.1 Out Of 5 Stars
 Because of the fact that even when you wheigh all of the factors that made is album great you can't overlook things like their amature, even though sometimes comical, lyrics and corny voices and skits between songs. If the band is able to improve their writing, this band is in the running for being my favorite metalcore band. It seemed that every song was crazy catchy and melodic, with the screams being spot on, and they put in the techno parts in the perfect places. My favorite song on the album hands down was 'Destination Nowhere' and is the song you should check out by using this Link to YouTube. They have also two music videos for their songs 'DJ', which has some of the mosy catchy parts in the entire album, and 'This City' which featured Alex Erian (Despised Icon), Jonathan Cabana (Blind Witness) and Tyler Hoare (Blessed By A Broken Heart). This album was 100% worth the buy, and I strongly suggust picking it up if you are a fan of bands like I See Stars, That's Outrageous, and Dream On Dreamer.You can pick up this album at your local Best Buy like I did or you can order it off of Amazon.com using this LINK.  This is all I have for this review, so until the next one,
STAY ALTERNATIVE!
