CD Reviews

A great mix of effects, riffs, and melody

George Dionne | Cape Cod, MA | 03/22/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'm starting to dig this new trend of mixing hard rock with sounds from 8-bit and 16-bit video games. The last one I heard was from a hardcore band, but Karate High School is by far more melodic, thus making for a more enjoyable experience. I died laughing when they quoted the Cobra Kai dojo motto from Karate Kid in the song "Sweep the Leg." That's a great track. As for the rest; a great mix of effects, riffs, and melody."

Goofy fun.

"Look at the album art... look that the band name... check out the album's title. What would you expect? It's nothing earth-shattering or breathtaking, but it's a hell of a lot of fun and you're not going to hear much like it. They're aXe (Or Arcade Edge) and sound like a mix of post-hardcore and 8-bit arcade. Really.

With lyrics like "We always think we will find a secret code that will fix everything," you're not quite sure if they're singing about arcade games or deep metaphores for life.

So this album's very cool, just don't expect anything too incredible out of it... every track is awesome, minus "Scenes Rushing By" That's Karate High School attempting at a slow song. And fails miserably. I've heard it once, and I swear I'll never listen to it again. But beyond that, there's "Sweep the Leg" with lyrics like "THERE IS NO PAIN IN MY DOJO!!!" screamed right in the begining of the song..."
