Free Music Notes for Heretic Pride
Free Music Review: TMG's are still at it.
Hit: 5 Stars
So the Mountain Goats are still in the game with John Darnielle still in the lead as one of the GREATEST songwriters ever.
If you are an old school fan of TMG's, then you probably will not like this album. It still lacks the raw power of acoustimatic/tape music with the simplicity of just guitar and vocals, but also, if you were turned off by the slowness of "Get Lonely", then do not fret, this album brings back some of the great driving riffs that we have all come to know and love.
I recommend this album on vinyl over cd, but I recommend almost any album on vinyl instead of cd.
I place this album within his top 5 releases.
Strong Points:
The opening track, Saw Rohmer #1 sets the pace for the album, good strong beats and the closing track (Not counting the bonus tracks that are available online), "Michael Myers Resplendent" starts slow, but really closes the album beautifully.
Low Points:
The songs "New Zion" (Do not get me wrong, I like the track, but it is a low point of the album) and "Craters of the Moon" are the weakest songs, but are in the middle chunk of the album so they kind of slide by nicely as well.
This is also the first album with an official drummer, Jon Wurster, who recorded and is touring with them now.
In the end, check it out for sure if you like good alt/indie rock. If you miss the folk/tape music styles of the older TMG's, then you might want to pass.
