We’ve noticed how many folks are hitting up our Super Mash Bros posts this week so for everyone looking for the new album, All About The Scrilions, you can download it for free right here. Before I get some unnecessary backlash let me first claim that I am highly critical of mashups as I’ve used many of these samples myself and have spent the past few months developing a paper and powerpoint on how mashups transcend into a realm of hyperreality – from the quodlibet to Pachelbel’s Canon in D to the Avalanches to Girl Talk to Youtube and some developments in between. Great, lets get this started then.
Overall the samples used on Scrilions don’t touch me the same way as last summer’s Fuck Bitches. Get Euros., but once you’ve brilliantly arranged timeless party anthems from Creed, Lenny Kravitz, Blink-182, and then some into a few minute period (“I’m An Adler Girl” back to back with “Meet Me At Fantasy Island”) the bar is definitely set unfairly high. Scrilions carries undeniably catchy tunes and titles that Dick and Nicolas should feel damn proud of…actually every track title is absolutely genius. Coming from my “musical background” and taste the album doesn’t pick up until the third track and coincidentally my motto, “NPH FTW,” but as a point of reference I share this feeling for Girl Talk’s Feed The Animals. However, to switch up my tone, once “NPH FTW” kicks off this album enters new territory of fucking shit up on that Neil Patrick Harris (NPH) tip…I’ve never gotten such a high listening to Muse. The Twitter revolution shows its promise in “@LaurenConrad Get Us On The Hills” and if you don’t get the fuck out of your seat when Ludacris gets all masculine over Jimmy Eat World then you should probably press pause and go drown in the bathtub. I’m not going to get into much more reviewing as it’s not what I do or like to do, but no joke, the rest of this album is enough to put any party mixtape or masher to shame. With Scrilions Super Mash Bros have grabbed the mashup generation by the balls and brought us to a new plain of party. While their style may not be progressing the mashup genre as a whole, our Los Angeles homies have found a niche that they can kick ass and take names getting into. Combining their fantastic taste in music and knowledge of the 90’s and 00’s into a self-referential system what we have here is something special. Keep these albums close to ya’ll, our boys are going from Harlem to Hollywood and these last days of chilling on the low-key are numbered. Tough love dawgs, you’ve got nowhere to go but up and all your pals at home support ya.
