Customer Reviews of Motel California
This is what Korn and the Deftones should sound like It is obvious listening to this cd, how much they were influenced by Korn and the Deftones.I got into this group back in 90 when i heard Whiplash Liquor, and loved that first EP.I only bought this cause of how good that one was, and it had a great CD cover. I expected the same kind of music as their older cd's-very 80's metal with a hint of nu-metal. This one was nu-metal with barely a hint of old metal!.This was a HUGE step forward for this band.It is not my favorite kind of music in the world-but they did these songs with so much originality and passion, they sound like they invented this kind of music!!! Bicycle Wheels is my favorite-and normally I don't care for rap.I could see how people who like their old stuff wouldn't like this, cause it really is a completely different kind of music-it's like comparing Cinderella with Slayer.This album is so inspiring that I put it on to get my creative juices flowing when I'm writing melodies . I used to think this group sounded like a hang-on from the hair-metal days.I honestly never thought this band could hang with the new metal guys-they not only hang with them-they outdo them!!! BRAVO Busy bee watching the world go by-----
Very strong energy flow
"Motel California", the last album of Ugly Kid Joe, is much similar with its predecessor "Menace To Sobriety". UKJ sounds still funky, hard and melodic here but on the other hand a bit more cool than in the ones before it. "Motel California" has some rap influences. This record shows once again that UKJ is very adaptive band: For example, "It's a lie" is very aggressive and uplifting song but "Undertow" is very slow and melancholy. Ugly Kid Joe is a good example of a band which is melodic and hard in the same time. As its predecessor this record is very well-produced and sounds extremely sharp and strong. Those people who have listened to "America's Least wanted" only will find that UKJ sounds very modern and cool here. Because UKJ sounds so good here, it is very "ugly thing" that this is their last album. Anyway, UKJ has been and will be a very strong influence for many alternative rock/ new wave metal bands.
Motel California / Heavy, Funky and a total trip
This is a real stepping stone for the ugly kid californians, unfortunately it was to be the last, the promo was little, but the sales were pretty good (except america). According to the amazon sites it's now shifted 300 000 in america and 55 000 in the UK, clearly UKJ hit the world when they ventured out of santa barbara.
From start to finish, the whole 12 songs are diverse.Unlike the previosu 3, Motel takes a good few listens to breathe and encompass.....Something ukj have always done throughout their 4 releases they pack a cocktail of unusual and highly infectious rock sounds...Motel is hard to sum up as a whole, there's trippy songs like sandwich and bicycle wheels, agressive punchy titles like it's a lie and then laidback cool, dark californian rock numbers like undertow and would you like to be there...whatever you do, whatever you buy, you need this album.
