Album Review: Mayonnaise

After all the trials, heart aches and exhilarations, the alternative/pop-rock band Mayonnaise has finally released their 1st and self-titled album! The pride of CSB and Muziklaban winners have been through a long journey and they have made it into the mainstream. this is only the beginning, theyre gona go a long way, for sure. Give it a few years and they'll probably get one of those "best rock artist" trophies from the NUrock awards.

Early this morning, bandmate carlo texted me, "i got a copy of mayonnaise's album from odyssey". after reading the message, i went straight to festival mall with isa and grabbed a copy! some say that it was selling like pancakes in ATC. well, i believe that, they play great music! So now that i have a copy, di nako magtyatyaga magconnect sa soundclick para lang mapakinggan ang kanta nilang "dahil" at "the only thing". ilang buwan ko din pinagtyagaan un! now i could play these tracks anywhere!

now for the review...
1st of all do not expect a lot from them, the mayonnaise you hear on the gigs is quite different from the album itslef. i have been listening to their rough mixes ever since, and their sound has definitely improved in this newly released album. it only took a few adjustments in voicings, riffs, effects and solos to be able to come up with quality music. i admire their simplicity in riffs/lyrics and use/mixing of effects. idol ko kyo paga and monty! their sound has defintley matured over the months. Hands down pa rin ako sa mga songs nila na Bakit pt.1, pt. 2, the only thing at Dahil. The album also included new songs: "Pink White Blue","Eddie Song" and "Home", well i still have to listen these tracks, pero ayos tunog ng "Eddie Song" parang parokya ni edgar ang dating!

here are tracks btw:
1. The Only Thing
2. Tulog
3. Bakit pt.1
4. Punk You
5. Jopay
6. Pink White Blue
7. Dahil
8. Eddie Song
9. Home
10. Pseudo
11. Bakit pt.2
12. Aircon

some tracks from the rough mixes were not included, i think it was 5:03 and the other acoustic renditions.

ok fine, sge addict nako mayonnaise, mukha bang magpapakamatay nako para sa bandang ito!? hehe, dein mehn! maslalo akong mabubuhayan! at kakampi ko si carlo pagdating dyan! kami lang dalawa sa banda ang nakikinig nito, at kami lang ata ang bumili. hehehe, fanatic ako eh! oh yeah, i have to go to school one of these days to have my album autographed! get a copy! you may not like it the 1st time you hear it, but eventually you just might. only a fanatic could only come up with a blog like this. astig. hehe. btw i posted on the side the lyrics of one their songs "dahil" --> cool.

mayonnaise--> a good album? who agrees with me?
peace \m/
