Free Music Notes for Icky Mettle
Free Music Review: Best archer album
Hit: 5 Stars
This is to me the best Archers of Loaf album out there. It is one of the only albums that I can listen to all the way through without skipping tracks, it flows perfect and keeps the listener entertained.
Web in front: One of the best songs on the album, it's catchy, and the lyrics keep you hooked the whole time. It's a song that will be stuck in your head for weeks.
Last word: One of my favorite songs on the album, it's just a great song, with great lyrics and melodic guitar riffs that get you lost in the best possible way, then when you think there's no way out, the lyrics storm back and hook you in. There's no escaping it.
Wrong: Pure Archers at their best, it sounds almost like a pixies song, great all the way around.
You and me: Very calm, but still a great song, and just when it gets really slow, guitar saves the day by breaking through, with lyrical blasts. good song.
Might: Good song. great guitar, great lyrics.
Hate paste: One of my favorites on the album, it starts off with folky guitar, then joins heavy riffs and great lyrics. great song, keeps the album interesting.
Fat: Another great song. Lyrics keep you hooked and wondering.
Plumbline: One of my favorites, very catchy.
Learo you're a hole: Very weird song, keeps the album interesting, still a good song, just not one of my favorites.
Sickfile: Starts off right away with 100 mph guitar and even faster lyrics. great song.
Toast: One of the calmer songs. It takes a while to get hooked on this one, but i guarentee you'll love it after a few listens.
Backwash: Great song, great guitar, great lyrics, the usual archer greatness.
Slowworm: One of my favorites on the album, if not my favorite. It's slower than most of the tracks, but it's got great guitar, and even better lyrics.
Icky Mettle Poster
Like fellow indie rockers Pavement, Archers of Loaf excel in making uneasy-listening pop, with sharp, angular guitars jutting this way and that, barring the listener from turning any corner without a little work. Vocalist/guitarist Eric Bachmann is as committed a rock singer as you'll find, impressively following every note with vocal cords stretched as far as they'll go. The two guitars caterwaul like trapped animals; the rhythm section churns out a solid, scary backbeat, gluing the whole mess together into one surprisingly powerful whole. The raging, relentless "Last Word" stands as a shining example of college rock circa 1993. --Lorry FlemingAlternative Rock Music CDs
