Even if Generation Goodbye is Kissin' Dynamite's 5th record,
I personally have only heard just a few songs by the band before and
honestly I can't specifically remember much of what was given on those
occasions, so I would say that these fairly young Germans' music is
more or less a new experience to me at this point.
Most stuff on this new record is quite easily embraced
because of its pretty easy-going appearance with frequently attractive
choruses and kind of a light attitude overall and the lyrics very much
deal with today's society of quick information and with constantly being
up-to-date with your own and everybody else's life through different
kinds of channels and social medias.
Some of the songs definitely have a really nice swing
and drive and are in fact very engaging, but the record is nevertheless
somewhat uneven quality-wise, as a few songs just come out without any
real effect and don't have the necessary equipment to convert into something
appealing and thereby can't be considered as nothing but filling material.
Generation Goodbye is a fairly good and pretty diverse
album though, on which I fancy the faster and heavier songs a little
bit more than the mid-tempo and the softer stuff. If you don't mind
carefree hard rock and light metal music, this one is certainly worth
a couple of spins in order to find out if it's something that would
fit with your very own personal taste of music.
