Review# 57
What more could you want but a band entirely devoted to the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger. Not only that but a good album to boot? Well look no further than Double Brutal! ADM is the side project of As I Lay Dying singer Tim Lambesis and features Josh Robert Thompson who is well known for his Ahhhnold impressions. The album consists of original songs and short skits of Ahhhnold and Tim etc on one disk and on the second disk is a bunch of broootal covers. All of the original songs are inspired by Arnie movies from Terminator, Total Recall and Conan The Barbarian right through to Kindergarten Cop, Jingle All The Way and Batman & Robin. The album is a lot of fun and having Josh doing all of the Ahhhnold lines is much more satisfying than Chad Ackerman who performed them on the first album Total Brutal.
The covers disk is good, they have been clever picking songs that thematically go with the films Arnie has been in eg Metallica's Trapped Under Ice and I Turned Into A Martian by the Misfits. I quite like the cover of Judas Priest's Hell Bent For Leather due to it's ridiculousness, but to be honest this is just not as good as the original disk but good for a laugh.
Personally I have found that this can be an enjoyable album even if you don't know Arnie's work all that well and lets face it, who hasn't at least attempted to do an Arnie impression at some point? He is a figure embedded in popular culture one way or another so it was really just a matter of time before it would have happened anyway and it could have come off with even worse results... Brokencyde tribute to the Governator anyone?
Extra brootal tracks are:
