The Duke finds suitable to review Dramagod's "Love".

The Duke's brief dissection of Nuno Bettencourt's new band (DramaGods) 1st album, "Love":


1- Megaton-a roadroller driven by a half-asleep sheep

2- Lockdown-sounds a bit like Mourning Widows 667, hateful chorus yet awesome guitar work

3- Bury You-ain't worth burying it. Pretty feeble attempt coming from Nuno, the lyrics ain't enuff, the whole theme is jakawaka. I need my tea.

4- Broken-a bit like Led Zeppelin acoustic songs, I'm trying to find titles but my brain is... Anyway, 6 over 10

5- Pilots-now this one makes it for the failures above. Really nice and compact sound, the chorus it's like one of those superbands of the 70's. The ones with the long sideburns and all.

6- Interface-I HATE THE CHORUS. Really. It sounds like a song written by me, and that's always a bad sign.

7- Heavy-roadroller #2. Real nice chorus, kinda III Sides to Every Story, a pity the verses roll in that slow, heavy, uneasy way.

8- Something About You-now this one's gonna reach a Crave-like status, I think. Nice lovesong, the keyboards sound really tasty. Rocks you gently, Nuno's trademark.

9- Fearless Leader-the boys go Radiohead Ok Computer. However they miss the shoot by adding those hard lines and "hey hey hey"s. They can make it better. I'm 99% sure it was Nuno's idea to get the xilophone in.

10- Sometimes-this one wobbles in a lovely manner. A pity the vocals aren't better, the song deserves it. Nuno goes "Sohohommmmtahahaimes...". Amazing keyboards again.

11- So'k-among the album top5, that's for sure. Really really nice chorus. For guitar freaks, I must say NB puts some salt in the chorus. Happy mood song.

12- Replay-I really like the lyrics here, I love the chorus, I love my mom. However, the rest of the song goes unnoticed. It might have commited some crime, like lacking of punch.

13- Nice To Meet You-AND THE WINNER IS... this tune. It goes dudammmm dudammm... Describing a matador meeting a bull couldn't have been made any better. Awesome verses, awesome chorus, guitar solo sounds like something he played before? a 10/10. Bound to become a Nuno classic.

14- Sky-beautiful. I want a whole album of this, maybe some day, some side project by Nuno. Kind of Who Cares?(the III Sides ghost is all around the album), mastery in use of orchestra. Nice piano. Shredders will think it for sissys.
