Wednesday 13 seems to be a pretty hard working man
these days, he release his third full length studio
solo album ‘Skeletons’ back in May 2008
and since then he has toured the world over many
times with at least two tours in the UK in that
time and a third one coming up very soon. He has
also released a live cd/dvd combo release which
was titled ‘Fuck It, We’ll Do It Live’
and now he is about to release a limited edition
EP called ‘Bloodwork’ which kind of
seems like a bit of cash in to me.
‘Bloodwork’ is an EP that features
just six tracks, two of the songs are previously
unreleased one being a cover of Tom Petty And
The Heartbreakers, Running Down A Dream and the
other being a re-recording of a song by Wednesday
13’s former band the Frankenstein Drag Queens
From planet13 and that song happens to be ‘I
Love To Say Fuck’, also featured on the
EP is a couple of acoustic recordings of songs
that featured on Wednesday’s last studio
album ‘Skeletons’ as well as a couple
of songs that people have heard many times before.
Let’s start with the new songs then, ‘Runnin’
Down A Dream’ it’s actually a pretty
decent cover version and is bound to go down well
live with the masses of Wednesday 13 fans, the
song features some great guitar riffs and even
better guitar solo’s . ‘I Love To
Say Fuck’ isn’t really a new song
as everyone has heard the song 1000’s of
times as to be fair it wouldn’t be a Wednesday
13 show if he didn’t play this song live
every show, the recording is really no different
than any of the previous recordings of the song
with Wednesday’s other bands, however the
song is fun and will also go down as one of the
great classic Wednesday 13 tracks.
The acoustic tracks ‘My Demise B.C’
and ‘Skeletons A.D’ are the highlight
points of the EP to me as I have a weakness for
acoustic music and enjoy it even more when I have
heard the full electronic version of the song
before and this is the case with these songs from
Wednesday 13 it shows his true musical skills
as he is there strumming his acoustic guitar whilst
singing his heart out, I have to say Wednesday
doesn’t have the best of singing voices
and you can clearly tell that within his acoustic
stuff but he has a distinctive voice and that’s
what I love about the man. ‘Skeletons A.D’
is the better of the two acoustic tracks as it
has a darker feel and approach about it.
‘Bloodwork’ is going to be Wednesday
13’s last solo release for a while and I
find it a shame that he is going out on such a
weak release he should of let his live cd/dvd
combo release be his last release for now and
go out on an high, as I feel ‘Bloodwork’
is a bit of a worthless money making release as
it doesn’t really offer much different to
the fans.
3/5
