When the tracklist for Picheolin’s “debut” album was launched, I used to be excited to see the title “Hitchhiker” on the credit for its title monitor. The visionary producer doesn’t appear to work on a lot materials lately and his out-of-the-box pondering is all the time appreciated. Nevertheless, with every pre-release monitor launched underneath this alter-ego schtick, it turned obvious that Dino’s Picheolin challenge can be leaning a lot additional into comedy than I anticipated.
On this means, there’s greater than just a little Gangnam Type in Social gathering Rock Rock‘s thumping sound. In fact, Gangnam Type managed to be each humorous and a fantastic track, whereas this one doesn’t absolutely hit both of these targets. The verses are considerably pleasing as a result of the vitality stays excessive. The pre-chorus injects a catchy melody, however sadly resolves in a lumbering refrain that’s extra obnoxious than thrilling. Have I ever talked about how a lot I hate when quick dance tracks go half-time for his or her refrain? It’s such a buzzkill.
Whereas I recognize Dino’s dedication to the bit, it’s clear this entire Picheolin factor simply isn’t for me. It’s not entertaining sufficient to get pleasure from as parody and the music isn’t sturdy sufficient to get pleasure from by itself deserves. And even with a incredible producer hooked up, that is the worst monitor but. At the very least it’s additionally the shortest!
