it can't be helped, but i always lose my nerve when i sit in front of the computer. i just don't know how to follow thru with these ideas i get going, so i figure i just gotta start writing and hope for the best. i say all this as a prelude to endorsing ima robot as one of my top ten favorite albums. i'm not sure that really means anything to anyone else, but to me, i know that my tastes are broad, for the most part, and i've got a lot of music, so to say something is in my top ten, that makes it very high on a very long list. where do i begin to describe ima robot? i'll start with the lead singer. he's got this very distinct androgynous cocky swagger, (sorry if that sounds strange, but i guess it is strange) but he can also do delicate fairly well, although they don't go there that often. this band also has a sense of humor, but not in a presidents kind of way. i imagine this band's live show must have lots of jumping and contorting. that's just the image i get when i picture them performing. for only 40 minutes, this album packs a pretty intense punch. crazy energy songs like 'dynomite' and 'here come the bombs' are just as infectious as the mid tempo rockers like 'alive' and 'philosophee.' i'm not even sure who i'd say these guys sound like, cause honestly they don't conjure up any similarities to other bands i follow. but i suppose you'd say they'd fall in the alternative/indie category fairly easily. catchy as hell too. 'let's talk turkey' is a gem. anyway, pick this one up, and listen a couple times. you hopefully won't be displeased.
