The cover of Dillweed's self-titled debut contains an endless field of dandelions. When you open up the CD case the field keeps getting bigger. Don't be fooled into thinking Dillweed is just a bunch of fluff. Dillweed is filled with artistic greatness and fun. Once you pop the CD into your player your ears are in for a psychedelic surprise.
Dillweed opens up the album with a song called "Trip". It's a slow, mellow, and trippy song (hence the name "Trip"). This song has a groovy bass line that enhances the song greatly.
Next we move on to a heavy song called "Overemoted". This song is medium paced with some cool "metal-like" guitar riffs in it.
After that we have a catchy song named "On The Radio". The song is a statement against mainstream radio. Funny thing is, is that's the song that is mostly played on the radio by Dillweed.
Next up we have a song called "Salt In The Wound". This is another mellow yet memorable song. "Smash It Down", # 5 on the CD is definitely one of those songs that stick in your head for a while. The guitar riff and the chorus are very catchy.
“Sun In The City" comes after that. It is a slow song with an acoustic 60's sound.
"Bloody" is an interesting song. The only lyrics in the song is the word "bloody". This song concentrates on the music instead of the lyrics. Which is what makes the song seem unique to the mainstream music.
Next is a very weird song named "Robots Captive". It's simple electro with lyrics. The type of music in that song is probably more of an acquired taste.
Number 7 on the CD is "How I Feel". If I'm not mistaken, its a song about feelings.
After that we have "Death Of A Salesman". This is another catchy song by Dillweed. Starts off with a walking bass line with more 60's sound guitar riff. At the end of the song you get a taste of a trippy voice warp.
"The Crown" is a song that starts off with the warped voice and a rap sounding beat. This song is mainly for comedy. No real point behind it. Just comedy.
"Punk" is... well, a punk song. It's short and fast. Just as punk used to be.
"The Line" is primarily an acoustic song. It's a small break from the psychedelic electric heard through out the album.
"Nobody’s Home" is another punk song. It sounds like the Ramones smashed together with Nirvana.
"Your Number" has a weird guitar riff. It's really trippy. Sounds kind of like a psychedelic Hawaiian tune.
Last but not least, we have "Skitzomanic". This song has its own sound to it. It reminds me of an old Meat Puppets song.
The music on this album is musically and artistically genius. Dillweed is one of the better and more diverse bands out there. If you want a taste of what Dillweed brings to the table, visit their website at www.dillweedmusic.com and search for their songs. If you decide to purchase a Dillweed CD, you will not be left disappointed.
