The Bent Scepters • Blind Date With Destiny
The Bent Scepters made their debut in 1996 with Blind Date with Destiny, an album similar to the recordings of such bands as Weezer. While the record suffers from too many instrumentals and occasionally naïve lyrics, it is clear that the group didn't have any intentions other than having the listeners have as much fun as they were having while recording. These "party" songs, such as the irresistible "Take it Like a Man" and the rowdy tune "Gassed," all sound unique in their own way despite the fact that they are all quite short and are highlighted by similar guitar rhythms. It may not be a classic release of the '90s, but Blind Date with Destiny has enough catchy melodies to have fans of the genre looking forward to the Bent Scepter's next release.
Los Bent Scepters debutaron en 1996 con Blind Date with Destiny, un álbum similar a las grabaciones de grupos como Weezer. Aunque el disco adolece de demasiados instrumentales y de letras ocasionalmente ingenuas, está claro que el grupo no tenía más intención que la de hacer que los oyentes se divirtieran tanto como ellos durante la grabación. Estas canciones "fiesteras", como la irresistible "Take it Like a Man" y la alborotada "Gassed", suenan todas únicas a su manera, a pesar de que todas son bastante cortas y están resaltadas por ritmos de guitarra similares. Puede que no sea un lanzamiento clásico de los 90, pero Blind Date with Destiny tiene suficientes melodías pegadizas como para que los fans del género esperen con ganas el próximo lanzamiento de Bent Scepter.
