STICK AROUND.

STUCK MOJO - THE GREAT REVIVAL
This is the type of shit that just needs to stop, seriously. A new Stuck Mojo album? Who the fuck cares about a new Stuck Mojo album? I thought this was a joke at first, but no…it’s true. Stuck Mojo is clinging to the dream, folks. Stuck Mojo was synonymous with their vocalist Bonz, but he isn’t even the rapper for this band anymore. That’s almost like Dead Kennedys going on without Jello Biafra, or Iron Maiden going with Blaze Bailey as vocalist. It just doesn’t work. Stuck Mojo have had a new rapper/singer named Lord Nelson as their front man since 2006. It’s quite ridiculous when he sings the song, “15 Minutes of Fame,” because he wasn’t even in Stuck Mojo when the band briefly flirted with nu-metal success, thanks to touring with all those lame fucks who dominated the late ‘90’s-early 2000’s. To make this release even more laughable, almost every song on “The Great Revival” breaks into an awful chorus that is highly reminiscent of those harmonic pseudo-heavy rock bands with attractive female lead singers that were big about 5 years ago. I’m not saying that Lord Nelson sounds like a woman, but when he stops rapping and goes into singing the chorus, it sounds like something straight out of Lacuna Coil or Evanescence. It sounds like Stuck Mojo is trying to fit into the My Chemical Romance scene, but they fail miserably at it, because “The Great Revival” sounds outdated by popular culture standards. It’s a bit “too little, too late.” Stuck Mojo isn’t relevant anymore, and haven’t been for a long time. I honestly don’t think Stuck Mojo fans from back in the day would even care about this new album, especially since Bonz isn’t even in the band. I wish some bands out there, like Stuck Mojo, would learn this tragic hardship of rock n’ roll, and just go on and do different things rather than attempt to sound relevant and fail miserably at it under a familiar moniker. “The Great Revival” is an epic fail. Shame on you, “Stuck Mojo.” Shame on you. (Evil Matt)
