Goldfinger - Hello Destiny [2008]

Posted on October 7, 2008 | Category: Goldfinger, Punk

Songs like One More Time, Bury Me, Withou Me, and Not Amused really makes this album a great listen with their energetic groove and nostalgic feel. It almost feels like 1996 again. However, there are a few tunes that are kinda bland. Tracks like How Do You Do It and Goodbye leave a lot to be desired as they are just “there” and don’t really stand out has superior punk tunes, average really. There are two songs that re-hash what John said about animal cruelty on Open Your Eyes: Get Up is an anti animal experimentation song, while Free Kevin Kjonaas is a song about the imprisoned animal rights activist. The only compaint I ever had with these songs is that it detracted from the lyrical topics that made Goldfinger enjoyable in the first place. I’m happy that John has chosen to stand up for defenseless animals, but Goldfinger is best when they are singing about fun in the sun, crappy relationships, skatboarding and perseverance. Thats the Goldfinger I loved anyway. There is also an anti-war song called War (surprised?). It is a good song with lots of back-up vocals during the verses. Good song (my girlfriend calls War an “emo” song, she may be right heh.). The biggest surprise on here is Handjobs For Jesus. Wow….just…wow. This songs will have you guessing for days. It is a truly genre-bending track that changes speeds and styles many times before it is done. A very intricate and true song if I ever heard one.
