Cobra Starship
When the City Sleeps, We Rule the Streets
2/5
When the City Sleeps, We Rule the Streets is the debut album from New
York based Cobra Starship. Dance, Pop, and Rock elements are all
present here. Normally I would welcome the diverse mix of sounds, but
it didn't work for me in this case.
"Send my Love to the Dancefloor - I'll See you in Hell" and "The
Ballad of Big Poppa and Diamond Girl," are two of the more tolerable
tracks, danceable songs you might let loose to while smashed at a club.
Cobra Starship's debut single "Bring it" was on the soundtrack for the
movie Snakes on a Plane, another catchy dance song (even if it is
about snakes.) The rest of the album seems to be lacking substance, it
all sounds too repetitive. It's a shame, I wanted to like this one.
Key Tracks: Send my Love to the Dancefloor - I'll See you in Hell (Hey
Mister DJ,) The Ballad of Big Poppa and Diamond Girl, Bring it (Snakes
on a Plane)
