Luckily for the boys in Arsonists Get All the Girls, I don't completely hate "The Game of Life." I won't lie, I might be found playing the board game more often than actually listening to this disc, but it's quite an acceptable piece. Many may consider this group quite gimmicky, but I consider them to be a sarcasticly gay bunch of dudes just making stereotypical grind music for the hell of it. Sure this type of grind hasn't found itself played in my stereo often at all, but that's not to say "The Game of Life" is a horrible release. It's speedy riffing and oddly danceable drumlines are pretty catchy even though they prove to be a trademark to the whole 'scene-grind' genre. But just in case the odd drumming and jazzy guitar riffing aren't enough for you, AGATG include completely awkward sounding keyboard parts at random parts of the album. Sure they may seem entirely redundant at times, but what the hell? The more random sounds beeping in your ear at once the better. To give some credit to AGATG though, I will say that around "Tourtasia" the album takes a turn that could be taken a lot more seriously.

   I feel I must disclose the fact that this type of grind isn't my favorite type of thing on the planet once more. But I think AGATG pull off the genre quite well. I can see uber amounts of underage girls with AGATG covering their boobs on myspace.com now, so that must be a good sign for the effect this band is having on the scene as of late. If you don't buy this album merely for your enjoyment of this sound, please do it for the cute looking bunny on the cover of the album because this is the first grind band I've ever seen put out an album that is just straight up adorable. Just don't expect the music to be as adorable as the album art.
