Product Description

CD Description
'Decadence' is the debut album from odd couple, Glassjaw's Daryl Palumbo and Gorillaz member Dan The Automator. Described by Palumbo as 'the first electronic, bar rock album ever', 'Decadence' mixes Palumbo's screaming and smooth emo vocals over Dan The Automator's hip hop and electronic backdrop. Guest vocals come from Rancid's Tim Armstrong and DJ Shadow vocalist Joyo Valarde.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funky stuff from Mr Palumbo and friends, 23 Aug 2004
Well, being a huge Glassjaw fan I just had to check out what Head Automatica were all about. And there's two words to describe them, funky beats. The blend of funky/dance/hip hop beats with rock elements is unique and interesting and Palumbo's voice sounds perfect over the top. There's even a little help from Tim Armstrong on the track 'Dance Party Plus'. 'Beating Heart Baby' and 'Plese Please Please (young hollywood) are personal favourites but this album is full of amazing tracks! This could have failed quite easily as a side project but I'm happy to say that in my eyes (and ears), It's pure geneius!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique, 18 Jul 2005
I first heard of Head Automatica when someone in Canada recommended "Beating Heart Baby" to me..

H.A. are something I've never experienced before. It confuses me to put them in one genre.

My favourite songs are "Razor", "Dance Party Plus" and "Solid Gold Telephone".

I wouldn't say they have the best lyrics in the world but they certainly do have unique and catchy songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Decadence, 23 Feb 2005
After hearing that Head Automatica featured Daryl Palumbo of glassjaw and hearing the amazing 'beating heart baby' I had to buy this album. As other reviews have said this is nothing like glassjaw and is more funk and less hardcore. This makes a change from all those generic emo/hardcore bands out there and will hopefully broaden peoples taste in music.
However something different doesn't always mean something good, but this really is different and it really is good. The pace of the album varies keeping it exciting and the lyrics are extremley catchy along with the beats which wouldn't sound out of place on an N.E.R.D album. Palumbo is as good as ever and it is refreshing to hear him with a completely different style. It is also good to hear him with Tim Armstrong on 'Dance party plus' as they both have such different voices.
This album really does deserve five stars and is the best album i have bought for a while.
