Free Music Notes for 1000 Hurts
Free Music Review: Unfocused, Poor, Pointless
Hit: 1 Stars
Shellac and Steve Albini treated this venture as an experiment and that's what you get here. There is no goal to this record other than to ramble and really test your patience.
While some people may find in this album as its saving solace and claim to be minimilist, eccentric, or otherwise, you will not listen to this album much. I can find no real use for it other than background music for a drunken party.
This was money poorly spent and I should have listened to clips first, though the band won't release clips on their website.
Better recommendations might be found in work done by Hermano, Om, Boris, or Cog. Give them a go instead.
1000 Hurts Poster
Shellac is back for another aural attack with 1000 Hurts, a more accessible album than previous fare such as At Action Park. Frontman Steve Albini has never sounded looser or more sarcastic than he does on the one-two opening punch of "Prayer to God" and "Squirrel Song"; the former finds the screechy one singing (!) wails of resignation over a punchy backing, while the latter has him sneering "Don't be surprised if I bust out crying" before indulging in some wicked aggro-arena stylings. Cage-rattling aces Todd Trainer and Bob Weston are given gonzo airlift by the big-room sound Albini loves to champion--it's helium light and lead heavy at the same time. The shorter tracks, such as "Canaveral" and "QRJ," allow for easy-in, easy-out rock fiestas, while longer cuts such as "Watch Song" give the rhythm section a workout. Another fine effort from Albini and company. --Jason JosephesAlternative Rock Music CDs
