I figured that no other album would be more appropriate for the launching of this blog/trainwreck. This is Andrew W.K.'s long awaited (at least by me) tribute album to the very first Mobile Suit Gundam series. The album is extremely well done, a tribute album in the truest sense because it is a work that is very much Andrew W.K.'s as it was the original artists. Andrew translated the songs from their native Japanese into English in a manner that is both faithful yet flexible to song structure and the songs themselves are fused with Andrew's own personal touches that gives the album more grounding. It's an album made with all the childlike zeal that only a die hard fan of anything could give us. This album bleeds enthusiasm. It was only released in Japan and the audio is ripped from the stream on his website. If anyone has a proper album rip drop me a line.
STAND UP ON YOUR FEET GUNDAAAAAAAAMOOOOOOOOO
