REVIEW - "I'm Mad" is the latest single from the Presidents of the United States of America's
MUSICBLITZ album, Freaked Out and Small -- it's also probably the catchiest song about anger that's ever been recorded! Clocking in at two minutes and fifteen seconds of raw, unbridled fury, the Presidents sweeten the tune with the power pop hooks they're known for. Guest-bassist Duff McKagan (of Guns N' Roses fame) adds some muscle to the track with his trademark thumping, but the Presidents give as good as they get, with shredding guitar leading the mix. Lyrically, the song is even better, with couplets like "How can you say 'just do it' / We completely and totally blew it" and "You can
say I'm perplexed / We're overworked and we're undersexed" spicing up the tune. The track grinds to a sudden halt with a searing instrumental break, complete with angry curses being shouted in the background, emphasizing that, well, they're mad! Despite all the vitriol, though, you'll find the song quickly sticks in your head, and the only thing about it that will really make you mad is if you can't listen to it again and again! So avoid making yourself angry and download "I'm Mad" today -- or better yet, pick up the full album!
