Free Music Review: unidentifiably old school cruise music for nerds
Hit: 5 Stars

I didn't really know much of anything about Hella before gettin this. I own Cryptomnesia by El Grupo Nuevo and loved it. Looked up Zach Hill and wound up getting this album. There's some hidden element in the songs that takes me back to the early 90's when the grunge bands were making this trance-inducing drone of loud. The singers voice takes me right to it. Just listen to Let Your Heavies Out. Also, I'm not getting the Mars Volta comparisons at all. I don't think this is prog. Its noise rock plain and and simple. That's all I'd call it. Nothing I hear reminds me of the Volta and I'm a really big fan of the Volta.

There are some complaints here and there about the lyrics, but I think the lyrics are really good. "Did someone open an undertow or is this drowning feeling typical?" There's a lot of great weird/surreal stuff to the lyrics but unlike, say, the Volta, enough coherent emotionality to go along with it. Again, reminds me of the early good 'emo' stuff that Ian MacKaye was doing with Fugazi and the good grunge ala Dinosaur Jr. This really feels like super technical grunge. And yes, Zach Hill is a beast on drums. Polyrhythms take me back to Elvin Jones when he was with Coltrane and all I listened to was jazz. With guitars and bass its amazing.

All in all this is quickly turning into one of my favorite albums.

There's No 666 in Outer Space (Dig) Poster

Deluxe vinyl version presented on 2 heavyweight 12 inch lps, housed in a gatefold sleeve with new artwork and lyric sheet.
With There's No 666 in Outer Space, Hella steps up with an album that is as fiercely imaginative as any the Sacramento-based group has released before. As groundbreaking and fearless as 2002's Hold Your Horse Is or 2004's The Devil Isn't Red, 666 provides its audience with a multifaceted listening experience that defies musical boundaries and may, upon repeated listens, permanently alter the senses. "Friends Don't Let Friends Win," "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle," "Let Your Heavies Out" and "The Things That People Do When They Think No One's Looking" marry the sturm und drang of Red-era King Crimson with the menacing whimsy of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle. Others, including title cut "Anarchists Just Wanna Have Fun," imagine a harmonious union between the ever-theatrical Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and the heavier-than-thou System of a Down. But Hella has its own rich character and it occupies a mysterious and distinct musical universe, a territory that has yet to be named because we must first find a new vocabulary to begin to speak of it. This place requires that the listener have the heart and mind and ears of a world-class explorer, a seeker who trusts in the unknown and returns to strange sonic soil again and again to unravel its great grand mysteries, plot its progress, and bathe in its fertile soil. There's No 666 in Outer Space may be one of the most important releases of 2007. And it may be years later that we catch up with it. ??Jedd Beaudoin
