This is the English answer to Gwar - Neanderthal
rock that'll soon run rampant across your living room floor and
take it's rightful place alongside the poor and tasteless. With
a sonic intensity so big it'd have King Kong stomping the ground
for hours in sheer ecstasy - and look now, there's a cavernous
pit back where your yard once stood, "Iron Monkey's"
newest, "Our Problem," might well become yours with
a little luck. This English beat is neither danceable or pleasant
any way you look at it, but rather noisy, leaning for the most
part to the far left of excruciating and agonizing, where grind-core
meets sludge-rock in a decibel-crush of rolling rudeness that
patterns itself after no one in particular. It's hard not to
imagine them as more than a rock and roll spoof with the name
and with songs that include "Supagorgonizer" and "Nine
Joint Spiritual Whip" (how long is this?). But, they can
play - just not that well. Actually they play better than they
can sing. If there's even one word anyone can pick up in the
lyrics, I'll eat bananas for a week!
Imagine what Sabbath might've sounded like
after a few too many nights of binge drinking, and Ozzy's spent
voice after a full bout with touring and a 4 pack a day habit.
There's nothing musically significant here, but I'd imagine these
guys must be a trip to see live. The Kyuss vibe is unmistakable
by song six, "2 Golden Rules," if you can make it that
far past the sick cover booklet illustrations which have to be
seen to be appreciated! But no, I'd dare suggest not everyone
would be so appreciative of it! Yes, somebody had to have a lot
of fun with this one! Let the primates run wild! |
