Free Music Notes for Bricks Are Heavy
Free Music Review: Freakin' killer!
Hit: 5 Stars
I only got into L7 probably a year ago, but it doesn't take a lifetime to know a good CD when you find one.
Case in point, it my 700+ CD collection, "Bricks Are Heavy" is easily in my top 10. From start to finish it is the heaviest rock 'n' roll you can hear.
Not only that, its easily the catchiest punk metal album I own. Every single song has a great hook, most have more than one. Heck, "Wargasm" is a song of nothing but hooks! Every part of that song, the vocal melody, the intro riff, the little "huh huh" part before they start singing, the "Wargasssssummmmmmmmm" part... its all meant to dig into your brain and stay there. Listen to the bass line on "Monster," it digs in immediately, even with the corny 'evil' vocals you can't get that song outta your head, can you? I didn't think so!
Really, a fantastic, fantastic album. From new wave power pop ("Pretend That We're Dead") to straight up Nirvana-era grunge ("Slide") to surf metal ("Mr. Integrity"... no seriously!) every song on here is just a great, killer rock song.
If you like punk, metal, heavy music, whatever, "Bricks Are Heavy" deserves a listen. Its a total grind, its killer, its heavy, its punk, its hooky, its brutal, its gonna be one of your favorite albums. Trust me.
Unfortunately, L7 would never top this. I have everything they did before and after, and while every album has its share of great songs, this is the only one where they hit it outta the park, start to finish. Don't get me wrong, their other albums aren't bad, they're just not "Bricks Are Heavy." This is their best album... Their finest moment. Buy it now.
It stands proudly atop the rock 'n' roll mountain alongside "Raw Power" by The Stooges, "Leave Home" by the Ramones, "Blues For The Red Sun" by Kyuss, "Masters Of Reality" by Black Sabbath, and "Meantime" by Helmet. It is a triumph.
P.S. And on one more note to all those "heavy" bands who think that you have to de-tune to be heavy and stuff, L7 played this thing in standard tuning. And they were girls. So yeah... learn a lesson from that, you screamo drop-d crapheads.
