Known for not taking things seriously, the boys from Monterrey, Mexico are back to give us more odd, disorienting, awkward sounding music that has defied musical classification, but always sounds cutting edge, fresh, and even a little quirky.
On All U Need Is Mosh, Plastilina Mosh re-invent themselves—again—the outcome being some rather strange results that will you leave you hanging, and saying to yourself, “Where is this album going?” But that’s what die-hard Plastilina Mosh fans love— the band's unpredictability. Three things to remember about All U Need Is Mosh—the album has lots of fun songs that are shamelessly silly, lots of jokes and plenty of goofy vocals, yet it is also the tightest album from Plastilina Mosh to date.
First and foremost, All U Need Is Mosh is a party album. “Toll Free” is a quirky dance number, with strange English lyrics that work nonetheless. “My Party” is a name-dropping tune that pits the greatest mismatching of D-list celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Danny Bonaduce, Gary Busey and Mario Lopez.
In a strange twist, that makes you wonder where this album is going, the instrumental “San Diego Chargers” is a drum heavy, marching band-esque banger with a heavy bass sound. To remind you that Platilina Mosh is a rock band (we think), they “Let U Know” by coming out with a heavy, garage rock sounding track.
Confused? Yes. Will you enjoy this album? Yes. Plastilina Mosh are never not unconventional, and may very well be the most unique sounding band to ever come out of Mexico!
