Customer Reviews
Well over a year later and I am still listening!!
Others have compared them to the previous bands they were, but I don't want to go to down that route, the simple fact that I was addicted to the album from the moment I got it, I bought every single to hear more of them and this album captures the true raw sound of them (I should know I've seen them maybe 6 times in the last 2 years). Every note is played with utter conviction, there is no playing the rockstar, this man andy means every word!! You should read his myspace blogs, they are genius!!! Can't wait for this weekends offset festival, bring it on!!!
Small bones, racist neighbours
3 of these stars are for the lyrics alone. I'm a huge fan of mclusky and was always praying for Falco to pop his head up again somewhere because the man is a goddamn genius when it comes to lyrical wit and grating riffage.
'Plague of Onces' is as grimy as it gets, 'Manchasm' is great although I've got no idea who Mark Foley is, and 'Small Bones, Small Bodies' has got the chunky riff that, however cliche, just plain works.
There's a couple of Shellac moments that dull things down a bit (post At Action Park unfortunately) but if mclusky was to survive in one form or another, I'm glad it was this.
Not as good as the pixies. But still very good
McLusky died, and with them went someone everyone should have loved, something that should have been played between neighbours and the six o'clock news, something to annoy your Granny with.
And then came Future of the Left. Who deserve all this praise and more. From the second this record begins, its the same but different - leaner, fitter, more productive. Manchasm in particular takes what went before this band and expands upon it.
Standing alone, this album also provides an alternative to most other bands vying for record sales and critical attention, and if Future of the Left dont get a hefty slice of both of those pies for producing 'Curses' then i'll be a sad, sad panda.
