One of the heaviest bands on one of the most shitty-sounding records you’ve ever heard! Compiles unreleased and hard-to-find songs into a smorgasbord of sludge.
I don’t love Whale so much as lust after them. The frontwoman of the threesome has an almost David Byrne-like charisma and a voluptuous lemon juice squeal.
Well-executed take on the alt.rock thing. The songs rely on the traditional verse/chorus scheme, but take each idea a step further to create a new synthesis.
The music is mostly your straightforward blues-based mid-’70s Noo Yawk kinda thang – sorta like the Dolls but with a real(?) woman belting out the vocals.
Sometimes turning it up with an almost-trying-to-sound-catchy-but-not-quite-cutting-it hook, at other times putting me to sleep with draining guitar solos.
