Free Music Notes for Come Feel Me TrembleFree Music Review: Knocking 'em Down
You got your Bob Dylan, your Bruce Springsteen, Brian Wilson. The pantheon, got it. Well to my mind, Westerberg slays the lot, just knocks 'em down. Paul's speciality is the sweet melancholia that follows the blast of adrenelin that courses through the days of all self-respecting American boys. We are the "bastards of young," but the terrible joy of girls and the terrible horror of dead-end jobs and lost youth is something that he captures like no other. He's the master of down shifting into minor chords. "Come Feel Me Tremble" follows in this vein: there's fuzzy amplification, cold showered by songs like "Meet Me Down the Alley," which is reminiscent of the unparalleled "Swingin' Party" from The Replacements' "Tim." That song is, literally IS, the sound of 3:00 AM post-party ennui. When Paul dips to that vibe, you know he means it, has lived it, just like you. On "Tremble," the rockers smash and grab too. "Crackle & Drag" uses spare images over razor guitar to tell the sad tale of poet Sylvia Plath's suicide by the oven-side while her babies slept. "Dirty Diesel" appropriately chugs, creating a truckin' rhythm. Its followed by two blasting tunes: "Making Me Go" and "Soldier of Fortune," the latter a good example of Westerberg's wall of guitar effect. "Hillbilly Junk" seems to be a swipe at Alt-Country, maybe at Ryan Adams, a young buck Westerberg has accused of musical plagiarism. For pure fun, "Knockin' Em Back" does the trick. It comes in all strummy acoustic, then goes aggressive, returns shuffly in a jazz guitar mode and overall celebrates the none-too-wise but irresistable urge to go mental, to ingest and rock out: it's "Hootenanny" shoutin' out over the wasteland. Westerberg is our messed up, brilliant cousin. Long may he run wild.
