“A tamer General Patton Vs. The X-ecutioners. Or a more playful Lovage.” Don’t let first impressions fool you. A pop record only Mike Patton could produce.
Perhaps the band’s most melodic release, forgoing much of their past attack-based hardcore in exchange for sweet hooks. Catchy, driving, motivational tunes.
Solid-as-a-rock four-on-the-floor beats and rhythmiclicious riffs that recall AC/DC and QOTSA, the band makes you writhe, headbang, and drink like it’s ’74.
Universally beloved, they somehow continue to make oddball, quirky music that caresses humanity’s collective soul while never staying stylistically stagnant.
Never knew much about David Allan Coe but the booze ‘n’ dope legends. Toothless, drunk country lyrics everywhere, while 3/4th of Pantera go all Jackyl on us.
The band is still playing butt-shaking boogie rock, but the tempo’s a bit less frantic, and the psychedelic effects on the vocals may arch an eyebrow or two.
