DJ Food – One Man’s Weird Is Another Man’s World
DJ Food’s album One Man’s Weird is Another Man’s World is just that. An entire review summed up in the title. How do you critique something that admits its weirdness? Well, it wasn’t the world for me. A bit too weird.
I thought DJ Food and I were going to be close. I love food. And the hip-hop. But I didn’t quite feel this guy. Too much of the same thing, maybe. The album seems short with a total of six tracks, but the lengths of these tracks range from two minutes to thirteen, seven being the average. I started feeling a bit repeated on, wanting something new about halfway through each track. I kept thinking I wanted more and wondering where the track was going. Never quite satisfied with where it ended up.
It sounded self-important to me. A, well, weird conglomeration of sounds and speaking tracks mixed together in a kind of statement I didn’t understand. I felt out of the loop. On the outside of an inside joke. I really wanted to like it but just didn’t hit the right chords with me.
DJ Food’s latest was weird for me, but don’t let that stop you from trying it out. It just might be your world.
