(Slumberland)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Read my Metro Times review.
Once in a while, a straightforward rock album kicks me around completely. This is really the first such example since Male Bonding's Nothing Hurts two years back -- for whatever reason, I have a bit more faith in Terry Malts' ability to do it again. We'll see. But man, I really love just about every cut on this disc. Dunno why it wasn't better-received in other quarters.
An editorial note: as you, uh, may have noticed, I am severely behind on posting entries here. This one along with those around it, for instance, was originally scheduled to go up in late April. I'm working on it, guys. And while it looks like this is only the second record this year I've highly praised, there are a few others, most of which have been covered over at MT and will soon make their way here. After some early hemming and hawing from me this is, in fact, shaping up to be a pretty decent year now. Stay tuned.
