Filthy Fingered
Plastic Kids

"Plastic Kids" is the second album by Filthy Fingered.

We can immediately notice that the Trance sounds of the first album are left behind to make space for a more soundtrack-like setting, with much more variation throughout the tracks (24 songs in total for a complete duration of 97 minutes!).

After a rather catchy intro, "Pick me up" begins, which would work best as end credits music for a sci-fi movie. There are no screams for more than 3 minutes, just barely noticeable background voices.

Following this, "B**ch is not a pizza" begins, which contains the word "F**k" a whopping 35 times! Yet, together with "I loved a woman who wasn't clean" (A masterpiece), it remains the best track on the album.

There's "Quarantena" which starts with a scream of fear and is a highly sustained rave beat.

Overall, the songs on the album have an Elektro vibe that, unlike the band's previous work, is supported by some rather compelling atmospheres.

For the first time, you start to hear some sung snippets (very brief); in "Fear of the blood" there's a collaboration with a rapper.

The overall effect is much less provocative than "Where the f**k is Kelly Fingered???" and everything seems much more based on irony and self-parody (In "Roxxelee" two quotes from the previous album can be heard). Even the dialogues seem to be pointless.

Definitely more catchy than its predecessor, it turns out to be a fun album ("Funny man" is proof of this) but also serious in content ("Children").

Full of soundtrack-like tracks, it also features Jeffree Star and there's a cover of "Breathe" by the Prodigy.
