Free Music Review: Looking back on this album
Hit: 5 Stars
I've had this album since 98, and even though I always enjoyed it, I never really liked it compared to the rest of MBM's work. It just seemed too random and chaotic at the time. After not listening to it for a year, I finally played it tonight. Now I'm amazed by all the stuff I took for granted. The first half of the album I always enjoyed, and still do. "Prime Audio Soup" is the most familiar track, and probably the most immediately accessable. Very hectic percussion, which is a constant in this album, and short blasts of sound. "Book of Shadows" is a good, relaxed dubby track. "Let's Have Fun" builds on an atmosphere of menacing atmospherics and bombastic drumming that still gives me chills. It's probably the standout track on the album. I've heard many people say the album falls apart after "Acid Again", and I agreed then. Now, I'd say it's where the album actually gets stronger. "Where Are You?/Enuff" pounds along as the background snarls and growls, a small melody coming up for air and going back down again, then the track just switches gears into pure unbridled lunacy. I think of carnival music from hell. It's great stuff. "Hail To The Bopp" brings down the hectic atmosphere momentarily with a spacy jazz jam. The calm is disrupted by the smothering bleeps and beats of "3 Floors Above You". No electronic artist can match the schizophrenic delusions this song draws out. Truly excellent stuff. "Funny Feeling" feels rather goofy in the beginning, but the acid jazz/dub breakdown at the end of the track saves it from being too kitsch. "The Thumb" is a good jazz jam, turning darker and frothier as it goes. "Wavy Line" is just a short electro number, and feels wasted but is ultimately unoffensive. "Wildlife" is odd. I think of the introduction to the show Peewee Herman had on saturday morning i watched when i was little. It's definitely a style change, but it's pulled off well, and i couldn't think of a better way to end the album.Anyways, to cut it short, there's a LOT to this album. It's packed full of sounds, and is probably daunting to most people. But that works to the album's advantage. I've grown to like it more over time. It still sounds fresher than what's being released today, which is incredibly sad. A lot of people don't understand the impact Jack and crew have had. This album proves that they've been the best in their field all along.
