Review By Blake
The Man With 31 Faces - The Story Book of Night Haunts and Fever Dreams Alright, that is a mouth-full. That is one of the longer titles I have seen for a review. That isn't important, but I thought it would be nice to share with you. The dude behind this was the same dude behind The Burning of Eterna City and As The Coffin Smiles Back. All were NxC projects, but if you check out the stuff in the albums/eps/mixes/collector's set/whatever else, there is a nice and clear evolution. He has gone more experimental, he has become less accessible but all the more enjoyable at once, a paradox if you must. HOWEVER, and this is important to remember, this is a bit more experimental and isn't meant to be super pretty, while his regular work is meant to be more enjoyable and digestible. 

Mixing: It is nasty, destructive, chaotic, yet pretty clear and not overwhelming. Pretty decent but not everyone is gonna dig it. 

Vocals: There are none. At all.

Synths: Varied. They are familiar enough to keep you tuned in and crazy enough at times to make you drop out. Not the biggest fan of how the biggest 8bit synths are done. Not a big deal, but that is something worth mentioning. Ambient synth are par perfect for this endeavor. 

Drums: They are done REALLY well. Jealous actually. I can only imagine people not liking it if they need more pop friendly percussion, which they shouldn't be jamming this album anyway. 

Originality: Each track has a different feel, which is really nice. There is a hint of the concept of pretty much destroying pop music, but it isn't heavy handed which I commend.

Concept: I love it, it is like,"pop music sucks." Pop music got destroyed. I dig it (Irrevelant) 

Album Art: Gastly as seen by a blind man. Or a ghost Pokemon fart (Indigo/League) 

Final Opinion: This isn't the best that this artist has to offer, but it is nice and rather different than a lot of music cybers are putting out lately. Not going to be everyone's playlist flame or anything, but it makes a decent conversation piece and strikes interest as what the other stuff this dude has done 7.5/10

I make music under the name of Are You Afraid Of The Dog. I have been doing this since the days of Myspace. I believe since 2009. I made this blog in order to promote other artists, and to promote the genre and sub genres of nintendocore.

My first taste of the genre came when a girl I was friends with posted about The Electric Bloodbath. iamerror was in said artists Top 8 and once I heard "Do A Br00tal Roll" I was hooked.  I then heard Insert Disc and my mind was blown. I started to create music after that and the rest is history. My music since I started has change and grown immensely. It is all the people I talked to along the way that helped make the genre so interesting.

Hi, I am Blake. I live in Deep East Texas, I write 8 bit music under Dubious Disc. I listen to a lot of Video Game OSTs, retro game, hardcore and indulge my inner-child far more than I should. I also love you.

Review by Blake
2008-2010 was a great time to write 8bit and its variants. MySpace was a great place to be a musician and meet and make fans, all from the comfort of your home. Because of this relaxed atmosphere, there was a flux of 8bit music projects. A lot of these 8bit music projects wrote Nintendocore. Some would become well-known (I.E. I Shot the Duck Hunt Dog, iamerror), others weren't so well known, like the project I Go Poo Poo In My Undies.

I Go Poo Poo In My Undies is a lot different than the average Nintendocore project in that the theme isn't angs, silly fan fiction-esque video game plots, or drugs. It is about the light hearted-ness of being a Kindergarten aged kid, which is refreshing which leads me to me to the actual review.

Originality: The sampling adds a unique flair to the affair, with the happy metal meets polka drums marching along to the simple, but generally cute and fairly nice synth work. It isn't too out there, but it is enough to be slightly off-putting

Mixing: This is the worst part of the album. The mixing is generally really bad, although at times (like at the end track) it works to it's advantage.

Vocals: Random pig squeals luckily are only in a couple of songs, three at most and they are there for a few seconds but it just isn't good.

Drums: Simple Polka meets Positive Metal. Not sure how else to explain it. Pretty nice. Not very complex though.

Synths: Simple, nothing special within themselves but they simple way they are written does add to the whole young kid feel, and is bouncy and happy. You might wish for more but I blame the mixing.

Theme: Probably one of my favorite themes. It's childish, nostalgic and positive. We could use more albums and artists with this theme behind them.
(irrelevant) Album Art: Simple, Sweet, Silly and has Yoshi's Island on it. Don't hate, just dig MS Paint (Dank/Edits)

Final Verdict: It is a simple album with a nice theme and simple writing. It is almost, if not ruined by lame production but is worth a look at. 6.5/10
