Free Music Notes for Heretic Pride (Dig)
Free Music Review: Goat Evolution
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow. This has been the only album in my CD player since I picked it up. I keep finding new favorite tracks to obsess about. So far, I've been fixated on "Marduk T-Shirt Men's Room Incident," "Autoclave," "In the Craters of the Moon," and "Lovecraft in Brooklyn," certain that each was my new favorite Mountain Goat song. When the album Get Lonely came out I was disappointed. I wondered if John Darnielle might have finally tapped out the creative vein he'd been mining for over a dozen albums. Every artist has to face that crisis eventually--after you release over three hundred songs like the Goat's have, it seems almost inevitable that eventually you start repeating yourself, or begin to parody your own work, or else veer so wildly from your roots into new territory that your old fans barely recognize you.
Yet, with Heretic Pride, John has managed to evolve, creating a sound that is different from what he's done before, yet still firmly rooted in the elements that make the Goat's so great--the unbeatable lyrics and the rawness and urgency of the music. The production values here are nothing like his low-fi days, but if you listen to the emotion on a song like "Craters of the Moon," you can hear something approaching panic driving the music, a fiery energy that sounds as if John must shout out the words now, as if his life depends on you listening to his vital message. I'm probably doing myself permanent hearing damage whenever I listen to "Lovecraft in Brooklyn," because I can't listen to the last lyric rush without cranking the volume in my car to the max, to better match the frantic tone of John's apocalyptic vision. This album is the next step in the evolution of the Mountain Goats, and quite possibly the first shot in a Mountain Goat revolution that will earn this band the wider following that it deserves.
