Release date: 2007 Label: Rockload

Julian Angel released his first solo album in 2000. “angel-rock.com”it
was called. Now in 2007 he is back with a new release: “Choreography Sucks”.
The album starts off with a short song called “Rock With A Slam”. It
is a sort of introduction to who he is and what his music is about. Julian hates
fake people, who does not work for themselves and get famous by their rich
daddies. He is kicking the Paris Hilton girls of the society in the song
“Sucker Punch”.
Julian himself describes his album as “Mötley Crüe making out
with Fergie while Poison, Prince and Pink are having a threesome”. I think
he is quite right about it. You clearly hear the influences of the mentioned
artists. Maybe even a little too much. I wonder where I can find the identity
of Julian Angel himself. But if you are really into this genre then you will
enjoy listening the songs.
Songs which really stand out on this album are “Sucker Punch” which
is also available as a radio edit on the album and “Give The Radio Back”. What
I liked less are the country music influences. No need to start several songs
with “ohhhh yeah”. I also rather skip the song “Boob Boob Booty”
for that. I start liking it again when the album comes to an end with the radio
edit of “Sucker Punch”. A catchy song, which is easy to sing along
as soon as you heard it once.
Instrumentally the album is very well arranged. No wonder that Julian
Angel was nominated as best guitarist on the German rock awards in the year
2000.
