Foxy Shazam - Foxy Shazam [2010] (Uncut, Final, and ULTIMATE Versions)

Foxy Shazam is the most fun you'll ever have listening to music. They're full of dancy excitement and you won't be able to stop listening once you start. This 2010 self titled effort is just another great album to add to the self as it's a perfect progression of their sound. With Flamingo Trigger, they were screamy what-the-hell, the sound turned into Introducing...'s goddamn party rock which evolved into the self-titled big booming, and totally fun, sound which feels like Queen of the 21st century. Overall, a great way for the band to move from point A to point C and so on. The intro song on the record (aptly titled "Intro/Bombs Away") begins with the sound of alleyway dogs barking before Eric Nally (singer) comes in and says "There sure are a lot of dogs out tonight, perhaps they can assist me in a song." which leads the barking into a melody that the rest of the introduction follows. The song flows in the next tune (which makes sense since it is the same track), "Bombs Away." The album keeps up the energy throughout it and only slows at a few points. Since the album leaked very early, it had a rough cut that had multiple extra songs and not full production on most of it. The official version was released later with many songs cut and remastered (15 tracks cut down to 11). So anyways, I made 3 versions of this album available. The uncut version, the final version, and the ULTIMATE mix that I made which contains some of both versions and includes all the extra songs. Feel free to try all of them out.

Genre: Soulful Party Rock
For Fans Of: Queen, and I really don't know who else. Just listen and love.
