"MAMARU" by RuPaul

 MAMARU — RuPaul | Last.fm

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? Today we go on an adventure to the catwalk with RuPaul. From the stage to the catwalk RuPaul has style and attitude which bleeds into this album and you can hear all over it! Unfortunately for me, it felt like a sugar rush. So let's dive right in and see how the catwalk sounds on "MAMARU" by RuPaul.

This is RuPaul's 14th album, he's been releasing them consistently since 1993! I know she is a busy person and has her hands in many different media outlets but I honestly did not know she had this much music under her belt! But enough backstory, let's talk about "MAMARU". 

It started off strong with "Just What They Want" with some great fast lyrics and a really cool production quality with tons of great sounds throughout the song and then "Catwalk" comes on and it sounds exactly the same except with Skeltal Ki's hard to hear verse. After that it just keeps throwing sound after sound until the end of the album.

Don't get me wrong I think RuPaul has a great voice and is a fantastic performer but I feel like this album was created because the producer found a ton of new sounds to add into the music and then decided to throw all of them into it. I also know that this is just how this genre of music usually sounds but there's just no break from it! When some of these songs (like "Just What They Want" and "Mother of the House") go on the 2022 playlist I will probably really enjoy it! Unfortunately this is just too much of the same thing. It's also a short album too, only coming in at 30 minutes! Which game me some reprieve once the album ended but as a piece of art is a little short for a full album.

RuPaul is such an amazing person and artist and in my opinion is one of the busiest people in Hollywood. Their producer had a bunch of new sounds they wanted to try out and said "Get in here to release a new album." and so they did! Also there was a reprise for "Catwalk" which I found hysterical!


My criteria for reviewing albums is a 5 Star average of each track, and a star each for production, concept, musicianship, aesthetic, and overall feeling."MAMARU" by RuPaul gets 2 stars for the track average, and 1 star for musicianship.

"MAMARU" by RuPaul gets 3 stars.

S3 Finale: Top 10 Shows of 2021

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This year I added a new category to Thrak Attack's lineups of adventures. I've never been a big TV show follower but I felt like with the MCU adding TV shows and access to some new streaming services to my roster over quarantine that it was time to add those adventures in! So here is a Thrak Attack first, The Top 10 Shows of 2021! 10. Hawkeye on Disney+  is not a great mini series but has some great character introductions and moments for the MCU. Most importantly introducing Kate Bishop who will hopefully take up the mantle of Hawkeye, Yelena reconciling with Clint about Natasha's death in Endgame, and the reintroduction of a character from the Netflix Marvel shows!   9. The Shrink Next Door on Apple TV+ was a short and sweet show based on a podcast which is an interesting transition. Both Paul Rudd and Will Ferrel shine in this show showcasing both of their acting chops. The plot is pretty simple but is com...

Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? Today's adventure takes us deep into the walls and underneath the ground to the land of Fraggle Rock. But this isn't the first time we've been here, we remember this place from long ago and it's time to go back. A reboot of a series that ended in 1987 is just what Apple TV+ needs right? Let's find out! Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock has 13 episodes in it's first season and it's just as charming as you remember. The muppets look as good as ever, the characters a charming, and the world building in this show is actually quite good! Each episode has a fun adventure with a pretty solid through line of exploring "outer space" which is just our world. There are some pretty great jokes that go along with this too. In the pilot episode one of the characters gets attacked by a dog, when telling his friends about it he says "I was attacked by the most vicious space monster" and it cuts to t...

S2 Finale- Top 10 Songs of 2020

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This year brought us a ton of music and great albums but sometimes a specific song transcends the album that it's on and sometimes artists release singles. So this is the list celebrating those gems on mediocre albums and singles artists have released throughout the year! Top 10 Songs of 2020 10. "When You Get That Feeling" by Nate Bo is a debut song from one of my good friends. It's a solid jam with an R&B vibe and wicked vibraphone solo. I used to play music with Nate in college and I'm glad to see him with a successful first song! I can't wait to see what's next for Nate in his career! 9. "Twice Your Size" by Declan McKenna is off his sophomore album titled "Zeros". Although the album suffered from production issues that muddied up the brilliant lyrics, this is the few songs that didn't suffer from that. The energy that this song brings to the table is exactly what t...
