GOGO13 "I Like It" Review

Hey guys!
GOGO13 came out with their first album "I Like It" last week.

So I just bought the album and have listened to it once through.
Now I'm going to listen to it through again and type out what I think of it as I listen to it. Unedited.
(For those new to GOGO13, when I comment on something that's new it's because allthough this is their first album, they've had many demos in the past)

I Like It
It's weird for me to hear this as the first song, because it's always their last song they play.
Ooo. Farfisa. I don't think I spelled that right...
It seems to be a bunch of random references. I like it.
Ok... Here's the break down.
This is definitely a fun way to open the album.
"I like turtles" haha!
This song is quite long... I'm not complaining though.
It definitely feels as lyrically planned as it does live, which is not much. Haha
This is definitely one of my favorite songs of theirs.
"the song is over"

Big Red Cup
Wasn't expecting the keys sound at first.
I like that there's uke in this, mostly because I associate this song with uke.
It almost sounds like a reworked version of the old recording... Like the vocals sound exactly the same.
The "Go Me" part is new. And quite funny.
All these different horns
Wait. That vocal part was a new fluctuation.
Chachacha. Olay!

¡es Ploded!
I wonder why the "e" is not capitalized.
So far seems mostly the same.
Maybe just mixed a little differently?...
It feels like it might be a little quicker.. Like only by a few tempo points.. Or whatever you call the units of a tempo.
That guitar riff was different.
Now we're in the breakdown. This part sounds exactly the same vocally.
The echo is new.
This is still one of my favorite songs of theirs. And they almost always skip it live. Haha

Monster
So far this sounds exactly the same..
This is a fun song.
Daddy are you all right?
Yeah... I'm pretty sure this is the same recording. Not complaining though, it's a good recording.

Free Agent
This version is definitely faster. I like both speeds.. Not sure which one I like more...
I might be leaning more towards the older. But I still like this one.
Short song.

House Ape
The sax and keys played the same thing there... Don't care for that.
Haha. Paul frank wallet joke that was relevant at the time of writing. Haha
I like the melodicness of the chorus echo.
Butterfinger?
I like how they kept the music breakdown here from their live version. A message to you house ape.
They kept a few of the songs. Nice.
Any version of this song is my favorite of theirs, and this version is no exception.

Humble Pie
Oo they added a violin intro. Nice.
Stylistically this is one of their weirdest songs. But quite fun live.
I definitely like it with the violin.
They should have opened with this just to confuse people. Haha

Down In a Barrel
New intro. I like it.
Not sure if it's a new recording, but it's a new mix at least.
The keys riff seems new...
The first time they played this live the played kazoos. They didn't mic them right though.

Abinadi
This is the first song on the album that I've heard no version of.
Feels kind of old school reggae
Creepy.....
I don't have anything to say...
It's a nice listen.

Cereal
Sounds Like the same recording do far.
This song reminds me of being covered in cereal.
I like this song.
Yeah, I think this is completely the same recording.

Always Was Sometimes
So, this song sounds like it was a Sandfleas song.
The style of music. The recording. The fact that it's the same singer singing the same way. And it lyrically seems like a song they would write. I'm partially convinced this was a Sandfleas song...

Pick It Up
So this is a completely new recording.
I like the extension of what these kids need to pick up.
Good song

Curly Locks
They're really just ignoring the genre they set for themselves. Haha
Does this mean they have their keys player back?
This one feels like a song Pixie Doolittle would dance to.
Every album needs a love song.

I Don't Wanna
I like this one.
It calm but still fun.
I can't think of anything to say. Just listen.

El Comienzo
I wonder why they shortened the name of this song..
This song makes me feel good. Like relaxed and happy.
Good song to end it on.
____________

So that's the album. Overall I enjoyed it.
I think it would have been funny if they called the album "greatest hits" since most of the songs are songs we all know and love, and it's their first album. Haha
I'm curious if the songs they changed are going to change in their live performances as well (they haven't so far).

Uniform Upkeep

Anti-Negativity Helmets
When your helmet comes in the mail, chances are it will have some creases*. No need to worry though! Due to the material that the helmet is made of (Neoprene Rubber) these creases are not permanent. All you need to do is put it on a foam head or anything it can rest on, and in a day or two, it will be good as new.
As far as storage, you can keep it on a foam head, but if you don't have one it's perfectly fine to just lay them anywhere. As long as there's nothing on top of them, they should be fine. That's what I do.

*These creases are due to the method of shipping. While shipping it in a box would prevent the creases, it be nowhere near cost effective, which is why they are sent in envelopes.

Goggles/Mask

The goggles are made out of the same material as the helmets, so if there's a crease, it will come out.

For storage, try to avoid putting it on a mannequin or anything else that will keep the elastic taut. The reason is that when elastic is kept taut, it loses it's elasticity. I've found that just laying them out works fine. They don't crease as much or as easily as the helmets, so you don't need to as careful.

Rashguard

First, let's talk about washing them. There are a few methods out there, but here's the way I wash mine:

1. Flip the rashguard inside out
2. Fill up your sink and add about half an ounce of laundry detergent
   
3. Put the rashguard in the water
4. Work the rashguard in the water
5. Drain the water
6. Rinse
   
7. Ring out as much water as possible
8. Hang dry

To store mine I fold then and keep them in a box. But you could hang them too, I just don't have room to do that.

Power Belt
To store your power belts, all you really need to do is fold them. Or put them on a mannequin.



So, that's about it! Subscribe to my youtube to be informed when a new video is uploaded.
Next, I'll be making a power belt.
