Read the short album review at Orgy: Meeting Jay Gordon ‘Sick Talk’ Tour and read the track-by-track review below, including ‘Talk Sick’ lyrics. If it has a ‘(/)’ in the lyrics, it means I’m not sure if that is the correct lyric. I did my best listening intently and I have worked for over 2 1/2 years at iHeartRadio for Clear Channel Media + Entertainment from 2011-2014 working in the music engineering department listening for content before songs would be aired on the radio nationally.

TALK SICK
You’ve got some nerve to throw it in my face
Tsunami coming from miles
They want your money, honey
Redlight District to get yourself a taste
Don’t they seem so loving?
Trick or treat and we fade away
Kicked to the curb on judgment day
A pinch of salt in your hater-ade
Just a little bit of torture
Hoping that you’ll blast away
[Hook]
Move a little closer
Listen to the clock tick
Tell me if you want it
Yeah, I can make you talk sick
Move a little closer
Listen to the clock tick
It’s all about control
Yeah, I can make you talk sick
Come fake the fire, desire
Get you higher than high
Fire, fire, desire
Suck you dryer than dry
Just see the sequel
To race you to the steeple
And laugh
But on the bright side
We should bang one last time
On the dream but we scared away
Feed the creeps as you blow L.A.
All the money get all these lames
Got a bullet and a bee sting
Does anybody feel okay?! (/)
HEEYY!!!! / LAAME!!!
[Hook]
Move a little closer
Listen to the clock tick
Tell me if you want it
Yeah, I can make you talk sick
Move a little closer
Listen to the clock tick
It’s all about control
Yeah, I can make you talk sick/toxic
I can make you talk sick/toxic x2
Trick or treat and we fade away (fade away)
Kicked to the curb on judgment day
A pinch of salt in your hater-ade
Just a little bit of torture
Hoping that you’ll blast away…
But on the bright side
We should bang one last time
[Hook]
Move a little closer

“Talk Sick” Review:
Gritty, grimy with synth slammin’ and fast shooting melodies, ‘Talk Sick’ revives the vibe we know and love about the creative orgy of sounds giving the band the name they have carried since they were signed to Elementree Records (by Jonathan Davis, lead singer of KoRn) and adds a pretty heavy twist that some may remember from Punk Statik Paranoia while being as original as songs from Candyass such as Fetisha, Dissention and Platinum. If you were to compare it to earlier work, Talk Sick almost sounds like a raging version of Leave Me Out without all the constant screaming, but with paralyzing dark undertones. Frequently, Jay lays down a sort of rap while the guitars spastically rumble.
The revival of Orgy in this track brings one hell of an opener (Talk Sick is the EP title) so be prepared to chant “I can make you talk sick” almost sounding as if you are saying “I can make you toxic” and take it however you want. The lyrics here are pure original and pretty outstanding considering it to be a fast-paced rock song.
5/5 – Brings back original Orgy style while maintaining its independent heavy rock sounds with a tempo-changing breakdown that will make you nod your head and hit repeat.
*When I met Jay Gordon at the Sick Talk Tour premiere in LA on 3.21.15, he told me that his favorite track from the album is in fact “Talk Sick”.

SPELLS
Welcome to a dangerous life
A dangerous ride
A dangerous kiss
Give me all of your attention
Keep up with the class
Or sink with the ship
Uhh
But I can’t put my finger on it
She’s got her lips wrapped all around it
Redbull – give me wings to fly
But the fact is here tonight
[Hook]
I’ve seen the devil has got me in a spell
But I’m not one to kiss and tell
(Kiss and tell)
I’ve seen the devil has got me in a spell
But I’m not one to kiss and tell
(Kiss and tell)
Dig in and heat it up
Talk the small talk
And beat it up
Kiss those lips
And turn to dust
Don’t trust machines
They’re just like us
I can’t put my finger on it
Got her lips wrapped all around it
This spell’s gonna win the fight
But the fact here is tonight
[Hook]
I’ve seen the devil has got me in a spell
But I’m not one to kiss and tell
(Kiss and tell)
I’ve seen the devil has got me in a spell
But I’m not one to kiss and tell
(Kiss and tell)
Speak those spells
And everyone falls
Twisted chicks on alcohol
(Can’t put my- Put my finger on it)
Got her lips wrapped all around it
Twisted chicks on alcohol
(She’s got her – )
(Can’t put my- Put my finger on it)
(Can’t put my finger on it- Put my finger on it)
[Hook]
I’ve seen the devil has got me in a spell
But I’m not one to kiss and tell
(Kiss and tell)
I’ve seen the devil has got me in a spell
But I’m not one to kiss and tell
(Kiss and tell)
Kiss and Tell
(Kiss and tell)
I’ve seen the devil has got me in a spell
But I’m not one to kiss and tell
(Kiss and tell) x3
“Spells” Review:
The beginning of “Spells” reminds me of the robotic-sung verses of Opticon, but quickly diverts and changes into something even more pleasant and creative. When the chorus comes in and be prepared for it to sneak into your head later in the day like it did to me. Lyrics reflect maybe even a continuation of Fiction (Dreams In Digital) from their 2nd album Vapor Transmission. The electric sounds remind me kind of like the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack (but a lot heavier) and the song will get you ready for all the dancier rock songs that continue to take a darker route all the way to ‘Monster’ while still dishing out sing-a-long anthems.
The production is strong as the bridge plays with vocal filters and effects and kind of glitches out in a well-placed fashion. The final guitar solo is worth the listen as the chorus rings in your head “I see the devil’s got me in a spell / But I’m not one to kiss and tell” and believe me, those words will fall off your lips at some point during your week.
4.7/5
At 3 minutes, the song does its purpose, but parts of it reminded me of things I did not really like in Opticon, primarily the sci-fi-induced static verse presentation in the first few lines, but that’s my personally opinion and I still enjoy most of everything that is created in ‘Spells’. It’s actually grown a lot on me since the first listen and is quickly becoming a new favorite.

“Suck It” Review:
Let me just say that as a trashy sex song, the pulsating guitars are going to get stuck in your head as the screaming chant “Suck It!” is repeated. Besides being the most provocative song that Orgy has put out to date yet, reminiscent lyrics like “dirty little whore” will remind you of the song “Dizzy”, the closing on their Candyass album, which may bring back the reason you like Orgy to begin with, but has a vampiric atmosphere going along with the theme of “Suck It.”
When the breakdown comes in, the classic trippy-zoning sounds of all instruments whirl through as Jay repeats “I don’t want to love you” and is one to please. “Suck It” may find its way to being favorited when you don’t want to give a flying suck. His raging vocals may also bring one back to the pre-chorus in “Vague” which makes this rock song stand out on its own, but is evolved while implementing what made them so good as a band to begin with. And these are mostly new members?(Besides vocalist Jay Gordon of course.) BravOrgy! (Bravo and Orgy… I just made that up.)

“Come Back” Review:
If you didn’t want another song to get stuck in your head, too late. “Come Back” is one of the catchiest songs on the record with every section of the song offering something new and contorting with different sounds. The pre-chorus especially has an almost soothing 90’s vibe that then switches to some metal-raging angst of Jay telling the person that you’re gonna “come back”, almost being controlling and dominant with the person.
The lyrics seem to say that since he’s famous (or king sh!t), that this person may not be happy, but will enjoy being with him in different ways anyway. I like this song because it’s kind of dancy with a lot of heavy rock at the same time. Lyrically, the ‘dominance’ acts like a narrative and could be interpreted as saying that some people in the industry/music biz may even act this way. It’s a unique and pretty genius song if you ask me which is why it is tied for being one of the most stand-out tracks on the Talk Sick EP and is a personal favorite.

Wide Awake And Dead
Sleeping with your headphones turned up
Looking like a doll
Pillow talk to solve your problems
Another to break your fall
So here we go again
It’s a race to cut ties
The mental hopscotch has got us feeling paralyzed
The thrill of the chase
A loveless embrace
A big chance to twist your faith
‘Cause you don’t care about nothing
Oooo You don’t care about anything
[Hook]
When it rains it pours
Everybody needs to take a little something for the head (Oohhh)
Does it make you feel better wide awake and dead
‘Cause you’re acting like a zombie
(Oh wide awake and dead)
Like a zombie
The sun is out now before we melt to the ground
And all is said and done
One more chance to think it over
Before the wipe out comes
Here we go again (here we go again)
From one fiend to another
We’re perfect for each other
The thrill of the chase
A loveless embrace
A big chance to twist your faith
‘Cause you don’t care about nothing
Oooo You don’t care about anything
[Hook]
When it rains it pours
Everybody needs to take a little something for the head (Oohhh)
Does it make you feel better wide awake and dead
‘Cause you’re acting like a zombie…
When it rains it pours
Everybody needs to take a little something for the head (Oohhh)
Does it make you feel better wide awake and dead
Cause you’re acting like a zombie
(Oh wide awake and dead)
Like a zombie!
Like a zombie!
[Reprise]
When it rains it pours
Everybody needs to take a little something for the head (Oohhh)
Does it make you feel better wide awake and dead
‘Cause you’re acting like a zombie
(Oh wide awake and dead)
When it rains it pours
Everybody needs to take a little something for the head (Oohhh)
Does it make you feel better wide awake and dead
‘Cause you’re acting like a zombie
Ohhh wide awake and dead…
Review:
Wide Awake and Dead was released in 2014 as Orgy’s new single after 2012’s “Grime of the Century” and boy, did it strike a wave with me… a wave of refreshing cool ocean water splashing off some of the distaste I had with certain releases today. (Let me explain. It seems as though there are plenty of talents making moves, but we are force-fed mediocre and limited talents that are making all the moves while starving independent artists have talents that are thrown to the side as if they are a stupid ragdoll with a zombie brain, when in turn, that is what THEY are for not utilizing and celebrating the gift of life and talent in all degrees.)
WAD explains as Jay tells you that “when it rains it pour and everybody needs to take a little something for the head”. Oh oh oh oh oh how fantastic are these lyrics in a world-turned zombified with technology and no appreciation for humanity while many are being manipulated by corporations and industries to only want to like a certain thing, or thinking only on what’s on TV is ‘cool’ (or YouTube nowadays) and people nowadays seem to think that life is about lying and just getting their way and raping the mindsets of others rather than encouraging us to become a better species. Clearly, I like this song, it somewhat even relates to concepts I have put in my film projects at trippytranfilms.com including our soon-to-be-released debut feature ‘Obliquity’, and if I get to talk to Jay and the D1 team again, I will ask to utilize the song in a collaboration. It’s that good. Listen to it now. And go watch the music video. It’s colorful and awesome.

Review:
The ‘G Face’ track comes on and when I first heard it, I almost thought the G stood for “gimmicky”, but soon found it to be one of the most unique tracks on the album that never takes itself seriously and stands out on purpose. Even the female background track saying “G face” only once in the entire track makes it worth a listen alone (or is it a guy?), then it switches gears back into the classic Orgy-esque digital trance cooldown at the bridge leaving one wondering – what really is a G face?
With the track being so new, I found it even more likable when I wrote down and intently listened to what Jay Gordon is saying, but still cannot decipher what could possibly be a G face. A guilt face? A goat face? The lyrics mention them being a band partying on tour traveling to different capitols (if I’m hearing correctly) and spending money (tips, or is it tits?) and wanting to see a G face on the replay. At the live show in L.A., Jay shouted out to a girl friend and said something about her knowing what a G face is and liking to make it. Who knows, it’s still early on the release, but this is one helluva jam!

REVIEW:
Monster comes on, and it seems as though Orgy just got mainstream all of a sudden, playing with effects like its a requirement until the chorus gives us a curious melody. In most areas, the vocal filters really do work. The bridge is a wild gathering of v effects being sung at you and better when the hook focuses on Jay’s vocals. The song is catchy, and does have a tale to be told, which is something Orgy has done since their debut, Candyass, but can be considered a single for mainstream dance rock to some degree, because it is what radio stations would want to play off of this album. It stands out completely and that may be a good thing.
Everything is pretty much on point, down to being another tale of being around a groupie or someone wanting sex once again in verse 1 or talking about being on Sunset Strip on Hollywood and a certain concert, perhaps.
Final Review:
It’s a nice wrap up and is very enjoyable, but then we’re left yearning for more Orgy after hearing such a polished final track and wondering what the 2nd EP they release this year has in store, giving such an ambiguous and wild-sounding ending to ‘Talk Sick’. “The monster in you is the monster in me.” Such bold words are quite fitting to be in the end of the track, tying up ‘Talk Sick’ with a 4.9 rating for me.
4.9/5
Album Score: 4.9
Here’s to the next EP being just as enjoyable.

ORGY live at Whisky A Go Go – Photo by Anthony Tran, Trippy Tran Films 3/21/15
I spoke to Jay Gordon at their first show of the Sick Talk tour, as formerly mentioned, when I asked if there was another EP coming in which he confirmed is true. I spoke to his tour crew and was told that ‘Talk Sick’ just wrapped up, so they don’t have an official date for the release. Here’s to bigger and bolder things from Orgy continuing now – and on their continuance of releasing fresh music to new generations as well as the ones that grew up listening to them. #jaygordonlivesbitches
