Search - Warp 11 :: Boldly Go Down On Me

Warp 11

""Boldly Go" has lyrics that are funny, but the songs don't have to rely on the lyrics being funny. They don't have to rely on the lyrics being funny because the songs sounds so great. This isn't just some simple beat that is put down, just as background music for lyrics that will make you snicker a few times. No, these songs on "Boldly Go", starting with "She Make it So", are great sounding songs, with sometimes silly and sometimes dark lyrics that touch base with many of us who have a great love and understanding of Star Trek while also a love for hard rocking. It is Warp 11's finest album to date."

"The fans of Warp 11 have been screaming for a new album for well over a year, and it has finally arrived.



Those who are new to the Warp 11 experience will either love them or hate them, but you have to admire their determination to crank out 3 full albums of Star Trek based rock music (and oh so many more songs that have never been recorded).



Whether you truly appreciate their homage to Star Trek or not, there are songs for you (Prime Example - A Song for People who never watch Star Trek). Fans of Star Wars over Star Trek will appreciate Captain Caught me on the Holodeck - showing that Warp 11 obeys no boundaries when poking fun at themselves and the rest of sci-fi geekdom.



The most important addition to this album, something I feel that was not nearly as prevalent in their previous works, is the raw emotion evinced in the songs.

Invasion evokes the dreamy images of benevolent invaders who only want what is best for us.

Welcome to Our Cube provides a stark contrast in tone, bringing out feelings of isolation and helplessness even in the midst of a collective community.

She Make it So is happy and upbeat, while My Electric Man and Set Your Phasers for F*** emit raw, unbridled passion and sexual energy.

Finally, I have to say my single favorite song on the album is Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Klingons. It'll get stuck in your head, too. Beware."

"A Star Trek tribute band? That'll never catch on, will it?"

"ok, so it probably won't appeal to many non-star trek fans, but BGDOM in by far Warp 11's best album to date.



They seem to have mellowed somewhat from the early days of Suck my Spock, and have taken inspiration from all over the rock world for their third album.



I hear Tom Petty, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, REM and more...



It may have been over a year since the last album, but the quality makes it worth the wait.



Seriously. It really is good listen.
