No Dice - 2 Faced

Review by Sérgio Hilton Berlotto Junior

No Dice's sophomore album, "2 Faced," is a bold and dynamic follow-up to their debut release. The band's signature blend of rock and punk is present throughout the album, but there is also a noticeable evolution in their sound.

The opening track, "Two-Faced," sets the tone with its gritty guitar riffs and powerful vocals. From there, the album takes listeners on a journey through both introspective and anthemic tracks. Songs like "Broken Dreams" and "Lost and Found" showcase the band's ability to write heartfelt and relatable lyrics, while tracks like "Rebel Heart" and "Riot" are sure to get any crowd jumping.

No Dice's musicianship is also on full display in "2 Faced." The guitar work is intricate and well-crafted, and the rhythm section provides a solid foundation for each song. The production is clean and polished, but still maintains the raw energy that is characteristic of the band's live performances.

Brilliant music, missed so much.

bronzeskiesblog 2023-04-13

Yep, thanks, have also missed it. Need the song that goes: Open up, don´t close your heart, someone´s gonna need your love, so don´t think of giving up. By tryin to live your dreams somehting beautiful inside of you has died, so let time take your hand, you´ve got nothing left to loose if you´re gona love again, If you had nothing, you´d still have more than me. And something about a book? Not No Dice ?

Still have this album... love this song!

justbryan321 2023-04-13

Un des plus beaux titres de 2 faced,
Ecouté la première fois sur la radio France Inter en 1979, j'ai flashé et acheté le 33 tours et le maxi 45 tours picture disc Come dancing en 1980. Super!!!

liviudumitrescu 2023-04-13

Nice song. Lots of color in the music. This song must have taken a lot of work. Cheers, well done.

zuckerlaws 2023-04-13

j'ai acheté le 33 chez un disquaire du boulevard Sébastopol .je recherchais des nouveaux groupes et j'ai bien aimé leur pochette mais j'ai adoré leur musique !

ivegotasecret 2023-04-13

This song is still excellent today in 2020!

bodyfatblogger 2023-04-12

Quelle puissance !! ce morceau que j'écoutais déjà en 1979 n'a rien perdu; Il me prend toujours autant les tripes. Quel pied!!!!
