DAD - Special

Review by OaN Christie

Special by DAD is a unique and captivating album that showcases the band's versatility and creativity. The album features a wide range of musical styles, from heavy rock to pop-infused melodies, blended together seamlessly to create a cohesive and dynamic listening experience.

The album's opening track, "A Horse with No Name," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious guitar riffs and catchy chorus. The song is followed by the upbeat and energetic "Sleeping My Day Away," which has become a fan favorite and a staple of the band's live shows.

Other standout tracks on Special include "Point of View," a driving rock anthem with a memorable guitar solo, and "Laugh and a Half," a more laid-back and reflective track that showcases the band's softer side. The album also features several instrumental interludes, such as "Siamese Twin," that add to the album's overall atmosphere and showcase the band's musical prowess.

About DAD

D-A-D began playing together in the early 1980s in Copenhagen, Denmark, under their original band name Disneyland After Dark. D-A-D released their first EP in 1985 and has now been together for more than thirty years, with only one change in the lineup, as Laust Sonne replaced former drummer Peter Lundholm Jensen in 1999. When the group made their international breakthrough in 1989, they had to change the band name to D.A.D. to avoid an impending lawsuit from the Walt Disney Company. In 1995, the "spelling" changed to D:A:D, to make it more obvious that it was an abbreviation. Finally in 2000, the band story became one of advanced punctuation as the spelling was changed to the more internet-friendly D-A-D.
