"Make It Sweet!" the Review

Journal Entry: Mon May 5, 2008, 7:38 PM
MilkCan's only proper and least well-known album is "Make It Sweet", which served as somewhat of an alternative de facto to the UmJammer Lammy soundtrack. People have downgraded this soundtrack, saying that it is too shrill (Katy sings most vocals on the album) and too uninspired (only 3 original songs exist, if you don't count the interludes: Keep Your Head Up, We Are MilkCan, Got to Move).

To me, Make It Sweet! is another important add to your LP or CD collection, especially if you like video gaming music.


Track-by-track overview:

1. Let's Jam Together! - Not much I can say about this, but this can be the formation of MilkCan to our ears...or at least a jamming session with Lammy and Rammy. N/A

2. Keep Your Head Up! - People call this ska; people call this crazy, schizophrenic thrash metal with a pop overdose; it's all. It's alternative and it's about Katy suffering from yet another one of those break-ups. 4/5

3. Fright Flight - Katy really ruins the schizophrenia of the song, but it holds together and talks about pink milk and munchies. That's where the forum got its name. 4/5

4. Baby Baby - How come I hated this song about taking care of babies? THis was actually pretty interesting! And it had a good bluesy surf-rock guitar riff! Also, that Ma-San can go nuts on the skins. 5/5

5. Fire Fire - I love the beat of this. It reminds me of the old Parliament-Funkadelic stuff. It rules. It's a bit reminding me of Motown, but isn't Chief Puddle a black man in a dalmation? 5/5

6. PJ Berri Jam - "On Monday", just with music. N/A

7. Birth Song - This song is so cute and reminds me of how awesome and demanding a new baby can be. Katy really sings this better than the parade of pregnant bunnies and their spouses. 5/5

8. The Theme of Rammy - An extended version of Rammy's guitar fest that somehow includes Bill Harkleroad-esque sliding and a lot of violin. It's good, but really doesn't have more juice. 4/5

9. Casino in My Hair - If Katy tries to sing country, she's not perfect. 3/5

10. Radio Signal Jam - Really reminds me of Negativland, the best sound collage band ever, and the radio station jamming in "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd. It's the only one of the interludes that stands out so much that I need a rating for it. 5/5

11. Taste of Teriyaki (A Lover to Save Me) - This doesn't sound as cheesy or J-poppy as the game version, but don't forget that Katy actually shuts her trap on this one. It has what could be the best intro ever. 5/5

12. Power Off! Power On! - Paul Chuck and Katy Kat join together on this tribute to chainsaws, deers, and the effects of logging while trying to make an Ibanez guitar. It has more juice, but why the country-rock label? That belongs to Gram Parsons! 5/5

13. We Are MilkCan - Katy's only mistake: she sings about being like a Limp Bizkit-esque band and talks about how they need to have corrections. They all do. Ma-San's an emo....and te freakin' amo. Progressive rock for the discerning listener who hasn't gone on to "Tago Mago" yet. 4/5

14. Jam Chin - Ma-San kills Joe Chin. I'm serious. N/A

15. Got to Move (Millennium Girl) - The only single and the one that failed from this album. Didn't you think that this would beat the living crap outta Limp Bizkit, Korn, Disturbed, and Lit at the time? No. Guess what? In my opinion, it's better than them! I love this song! It gets me up! Lammy can play! Ma-San can play like the Mothers! 6/5



In conclusion, this is an album you need to get. I don't care if you hate this or if you like this. You'll love "Make It Sweet!" one day. And, on a note, request the songs to every modern rock/active rock station in the world! I want them to be famous!

You're welcome for your kind complement. Even though you drew Rammy's fingering wrong (she's right-handed), you drew her like a happy Lammy.
