DORK [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Combine Bob Dylan and Tom Leherer and you get Loudon Wainwright III...do it on a shoestring Budget and record it over an old Dead Milkmen tape and you get Adam Brodsky.Armed only with a Guitar and a Harmonica, this antifolk warrior gleefully skewers any topic that enters his twisted mindCMJ

Album Description
Dork, the album captures the spontaneity and quirks of Adam's live performances: assaultive, rembling and/or profane banter; impromptu musical rearrangements; forgotten lyrics; ad-libbed pandering interspersed with scouring asides; and, eventually the Songs. Adam's Skills as an incisive songwriter are often overshadowed by the crudeness and candor of his performances. Hopefully, DORK will dispel, or at least amend, adam's reputation as an abrasive fraud with a probable personality disorder by proving once and for all that, despite the insolence, the seedy appearance and overall lack of professionalism, it is the songs that truly matter. This album repeatedly demonstrates why synapsing organisms prefer the wit and acuity of Adam's songs to his prattle.

Album Description

Welcome To Loserville is the debut album by ex-Busted member James Bourne's new band, the bizarrely monikered Son Of Dork. A collection of melodic punk rock stormers, the album may be short on subtlety, but that is more than made up for by the sheer exuberance and energy of the songs, reminiscent of bands such as busted and Blink 182. Includes the single 'Ticket Outta Loserville'. Mercury. 2005.

Customer Reviews:

UK's version of The Starting Line.......2006-06-18

Take the music and melodies of the starting line and mix em' with early blink 182 lyrics, and you have one of the UK's biggest acts. Unlike busted and mcfly, which were further down the pop end of pop-punk, Son of Dork walk the line very well, putting just as much emphasis on the punk as the pop. "ticket outta loserville" is one of the best pop-punk songs I've heard in awile, and the intro to "slacker" recalls pop-punk classics like "secondary" (brand new) and "up and go" (the starting line) in that it's rich in complex guitar melodies that'll stay stuck in your head during the song and long after it ends. There are two or three 'ballads' on this ten track collection, which keeps it out of my top pop-punk albums list, but for what it's worth, the ballads are actually pretty good. I have no idea what the other reviewer wrote (it wasn't in english, for godsakes), but if he thinks they sound anything like wheatus or neve, he needs hearing aids. For fans of: Blink 182, New Found Glory and The Starting Line. If you think UK music is only bands like Keane and The Fray; My how you are mistaken.

Great Power Pop album .......2005-11-24

1-Ticket Outta Loserville: El disco se abre con su primer single (muy acertada la elección). Al tenerlo ya oído puede no llamarnos tanto la atención, pero si no hubiéramos escuchado ninguna canción nos hubiéramos dado cuenta que está canción es para destacar en el cd, pegadiza y Pop Punk. Aunque al principio me costó acostumbrarme a ella porque sólo la había escuchado en directo, y no sabía como iría a sonar en estudio. Las voces están tratadas con ordenador y el grito de Dave está muy rebajado, pero es una excelente canción. La instrumentación es buenísima, y las estrofas suenan con un bajo impresionante, muy a lo Blink 182, y pueden recordar a los versos de "The Rock Show". ¿Y qué decir de la batería y de la intro?

2-Eddie's song: La segunda canción es la que será también segundo single. Una intro muy Punkrockera, me encanta, ese mismo riff que lleva el ritmo en la estrofas. Es la canción del disco que más se parece a Green day. Incluso luego hay un na na na para rematar. Otra canción Punk popera, y los coros de respuesta no están mal. Incluso hay efecto tormenta al final.

3-Little Things: Comienzo total de McFly (parece incluso la voz de Danny), tiene una de esas melodías que te entran directas, y te hacen sentir. No me extraña que la destaquen como una de las canciones para promocionar el disco. ¿Será el tercer single? Quizás. Podría haber sido una canción de McFly.

4-Party's Over: Otra balada con comienzo Popero y estribillo rockero. La melodía no es muy diferente a Busted, (¿Os habeis fijado que antes del estribillo hay una frase cantada igual que en Nerdy de Busted?), pero se aprecia que SOD más importancia a la instrumentación. Buenos loops de batería de Danny. Y el final de la canción recuerda al final de Can't break thru. Buenos recuerdos.

5-Boy Band: Una intro muy a lo Year 3000, se echa de menos el ooooooooooooooh! La letra irónica. Canción Power popera, donde colabora el cantante de Wheatus. Ojalá sea single.

6-Sick: Canción con varias partes, una de ellas tranquila y relajante, y la otra mediotiempo rockera que suena en plan alternativo. La voz en esta canción me recuerda en algunas fases a la de Sum41, y contiene un solo de guitarra de los que poco abundan hoy en día en el Rock. Sería como la equivalente a la canción "Why" en "A present for Everyone" de Busted, no representativa del cd pero una de las joyas del mismo.

7-Slacker: Otra que engancha y con energía, con las estrofas que me recuerdan a All the small things de Blink 182.Y los punteos de guitarra solista a Dawson's Geek, de Busted. Echo de menos un Oi!. Aunque no lleguen al Pop Punk.

8-Holly I'm The One: Canción que iba a estar en el hipotético tercer disco de Busted. Otro Uptempo. En la parte final un arranque punkie. Los cambios de ritmo de lo mejor.

9-Wear Me Down: Me recuerda a Can't break thru. Es la balada más suave del disco. Pop rock con el que se podría mecer a un niño para que se duerma, no creeis?

10-Murdered In the Mosh: Me gusta la producción del disco, y había que terminar con una rápida. Otra letra de las que llevan mensaje. Más Power Pop, con arranques punkies con coros con eco finales.

Intro: Muy buena idea meter intro, y meter canción oculta. No sé si está será la única. Es un coro de iglesia. Tan diferente a la música del disco que precisamente ese contraste y encontrarte con esto en el disco, que extrañarte tanto te encantará.

**********
En resumen, no es un disco Punk Pop, ya que han querido en su debut recoger a tod@s los fieles fans de Busted sin arriesgar, y de momento lo están consiguiendo.
Escuchar el disco de SOD con calidad y canciones enteras este disco gana mucho, con 30 segundos era demasiado poco; es más, es un disco guitarrero a pesar que de las 10 canciones 5 son baladas/mediotiempos. Son diferentes a Busted, sobre todo instrumentalmente, donde la base pasa a tener más consistencia y a aparecer en un plano importante, subiendo el volumen y dando importancia a mejores riffs y punteos, destacando el trabajo de Chris como guitarra solista. Muy buena producción, efectos de guitarra, batería, contratiempos, etc.

Supongo que a medida que saquen más cds se irán al Punk Pop, y seguro que el siguiente cd tiene más caña y más canciones rápidas y punkies. Y hay ganas de cosas así.

Quizás haya gente no fan de Busted y más en el ámbito Blink 182 /Simple Plan, que le haya gustado el primer single y quizás como no le gusten grupos como Wheatus, Neve, etc., puede que eche en falta que las canciones están en otra onda que "Ticket outta loserville".

Resume: Great power pop album (Rock subgenre), not simply Pop Rock influenced by Punk Pop groups like Busted was. More into Wheatus, Neve scene

Album Description

Dork, the album captures the spontaneity and quirks of Adam's live performances: assaultive, rembling and/or profane banter; impromptu musical rearrangements; forgotten lyrics; ad-libbed pandering interspersed with scouring asides; and, eventually the Songs. Adam's Skills as an incisive songwriter are often overshadowed by the crudeness and candor of his performances. Hopefully, DORK will dispel, or at least amend, adam's reputation as an abrasive fraud with a probable personality disorder by proving once and for all that, despite the insolence, the seedy appearance and overall lack of professionalism, it is the songs that truly matter. This album repeatedly demonstrates why synapsing organisms prefer the wit and acuity of Adam's songs to his prattle.

Mind Stabbing.......2003-04-25

This is one of the funniest things that you will ever hear. Every song is a gem. I laughed until [a lot]. BUY IT NOW!!!

Buy this album.......2000-02-09

If you like to be entertained by music, this artist will not disappoint you. I have heard a few tracks on various internet radio stations and I am pleased to find this recording on Amazon.com. I am the kind of listener that will not buy an album for just a few songs. Brodsky is a brilliant songwriter and should be hailed as one.

Folk with more attitude than punk and more wit than anyone.......1999-06-19

Adam Brodsky does a good job of hiding his clever intellect with hysterical banter and ridiculous song topics (e.g., "A Gaucho Named Klaus" about Nazis living in South American after World War Two). However, his brilliance comes shining through despite his best efforts to seem like a devil-may-care amateur. Sure, he blows it sometimes and forgets a line or two, but his easy self-deprecating recovery just makes him that much more endearing and menschy. He's that rare combination of talent that doesn't take itself too seriously and may even have its best moments when flying off the cuff--way off the cuff. The only thing better than his CD is his live shows, although barely since Dork manages to capture that same energy and charisma. If nothing else, pick up this disk to hear him rhyme tsunami with salami--no one could ever accuse Adam of being unoriginal.

I'm a straight girl and I even like it!.......1999-05-14

It's good, it's real good, pop it in the car for a long drive, sit back, close your eyes - no don't close your eyes you're driving - relax and listen to the sounds of my favorite anti folk songwriter on the east coast!

A Masterpiece.......1999-04-01

Impossibly witty, fearless and incisive...Adam is blessedly unique and usually brilliant.
