This Was Supposed to be a Celebration!

This Was Supposed to be a Celebration! is a 22 song compilation on Mauled By Tigers. It's also a gluttonous feast of guitar noise - from the garage rock sounds of The Ka-Knives to the more pop tinged Bossy to the more hardcore assaults of Rager - this is a cracking release by Mauled By Tigers and as their first release it's a rather grand statement of intent. This label wants to blow your mind with ferocious guitar led noise pop.I've only played the compilation a couple of times thus far - so picking favourites is a tough job as each time I hit play on the CD player I am left reeling as song after song jumps out at you, demanding your attention. It reminds a little of the compilations that Stolen Recordings have issued in the UK. It's diverse, engaging and above all - damn exciting. I doubt a better compilation CD will be released this year.
For those that don't know the Mauled By Tigers label they have since this release brought us the much more Indiepop sounding Vivian Girls and primal stomp of Dead Dog - and this compilation leans towards the more primal less indiepop end of their spectrum - either way this is the sort of release that gets my heart racing.
