So what we got here is 2 persons playin' the instruments and singing the songs. Actually, one sings the songs, but what's it matter to ya? jerk.
Boy, that first track starts off with some cool noise! Then just kinda into a fuzzy-blues rockin' ditty here. Listen to that guys voice! You almost wouldn't believe he's from Ohio!
The second track has got a cool noisy solo, almost kinda sounds like a solo from that Monks record...
But as the album progresses, it starts to become relatively similar, and while enjoyable, the songs kinda start to sound the same. Maybe its because I've only listened to it 4 times or so, but it seems that there's only so much you can do with fuzzy guitar driven stompers for so long.
Also, I think that the tracks that are a bit slower (Cry Alone, Everywhere I Go) aren't as good, mainly because they seem to lack energy, and so you get songs that just drag and drag for toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long.
BUT! If you like guitar and drums and vocals, you might like this!
It's not that I don't like it, its just sorta "there" and isn't the most exciting thing I've heard since my time playing billiards and a pool hall when I was 13 in Oak Park.
