Free Music Notes for Infrared Riding Hood
Free Music Review: Heavy and catchy as well
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't agree at all with some of the other reviews that describe this as "commercial" or their worst album.
I think this is a fantastically diverse album in terms of material ranging from the crushingly heavy "Bullhorn" and "Emotional Cockroach" melodic "Red Eye Angel" and "Thistle suit". "Dementia" even has echoes of Dinosaur Jr amongst the crushing riffs. (J Mascis incidentally produced their album "Inhaler").
Some reviews describe this as them going "commercial". I find this exagerrated. They may have introduced more influences into their sound and the writing is more melodic... but its hardly "top 40" rock material!
The songwriting is incredibly strong on the album and the production (Jack Endino) is fantastic; very organic sounding and well produced. (I mean you're hardly going to go to Jack Endino if you want a polished sickly clean, over-produced "commercial" sounding rock record are you?)
Maybe what these negative reviews are getting at is that it has less of the "full on metallic grind". By no means do I find this a necessarily a bad thing; it gives Tad a more diverse catologue of material! I mean we already have 8 way Santa and Inhaler for the total full on heavy stuff. (And the heavy grind is certainly still there on many of the tracks on this album.)
As I mentioned, its certainly tonally different to their previous releases in terms of the guitar sound. I find the guitars sound a little crisper with more texture. Theres nice sections of guitar with some tremolo in some places and even a nice surfy middle section in "Weakling". Tad Doyles vocals are filtered through distortion (tremolo as well on "Weakling" )on a lot of the tracks and he varies his vocal more than on previous releases.
This album is excellent. I would highly recommend this as much as I would Inhaler. It is extremely well mixed and recorded as well.
Tad are one of the most underated bands to come out of the Seattle scene, by far.
