Dance-punk was not a genre I would’ve seen myself listening to. But after looking for more noise rock albums to listen to, I stumbled upon Dogsbody, and I could definitely see those two genres cooperate in the first two songs. Crossing Guard, I believe, was when noise rock began to fade from the album. It honestly began to sound psychedelic by the time Divers played, and eventually mixed with Industrial Rock by the time Amaranth played. But I just couldn’t get myself into the funkiness that is Dogsbody. There’s something about the backing track that doesn’t sit right with me when I listen to it, like it’s disjointed from the singer. I want to like this album, but its structure and instrumentation aren’t my thing.
