The evolution of gob...
xTragedyxBrittanyx | Echo Park, Ca | 01/28/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Thru out the years, I've been following the candian punk-pop foursome known as gob. This is what i've found; In 1995, they released a debut called "too late...no friends". It was your basic mid-90's punk album, with little to no melody, short songs, below average production, and poor song structure.



In 98', the band released a follow up called "how far shallow takes you". This time around, the songs were a bit longer and had slightly more melody, and the band's transformation from "punk" to "punk-pop" was already underway.



After about three years of being off the scene, gob returned once more in early 2001 with "the world according to gob", an album which owed more to Britney spears and the current Blink 182 than it did to early Green Day or the Ramones. The songs were overly poppy, the production was super slick, and the lyrics were varied and covered more topics than just potty humor and teen rebelion. It was A HUGE step in the right direction, with the boys producing an album as strong as "enema of the state" and "all killer no filler". In my opinion, it's their best record to date.



Unfortunatly tho, even with a pop sound and modern lyrical content, gob was still no where near being as big as Simple plan or blink, so one year after releasing "the world according", they decided to go on tour with fellow canadian punk brats Sum 41. The tour gave them the opportunity to impress Arista's Executive producer LA reid, so much in fact that he sent the boys of gob into the recording studio the following year to create...



"Foot in mouth disease". To be honest, its a bit MORE "punk" than "the world according to gob" , but not by much, and with producer Mark Trombino (blink 182, Diffuser, The Starting Line, Finch ect.) and labelmates Avril Lavine and Wakefield, the difference isn't easily noticed. It features 14 songs that run between 2-5 minutes on average, and are all really catchy and singable (the formula for "the world according to gob" was basically duplicated). If you're into melodic, catchy pop-punk, I'd recommend getting "the world according to gob" first and then "foot in mouth". DO NOT pick up "too late...no friends" or "How far shallow takes you" unless you actually prefer hardcore punk to pop-punk."
GREAT CD
