User Album Review
Harkening back to personal favorite and Black Lips classic Good Bad Not Evil from a sonic standpoint, the guitars are ablaze, and the grime comes in droves. Captured and produced by, none other than, Sean Lennon in his upstate New York compound/studio with no outside distractions to bait them and even his mother Yoko Ono chiming in on some backing vocals. The addition of new drummer Oakley Munson’s trap slapping and downright sax-y fills and interludes from Zumi Rosow are a bonus to the return of axeman Jack Hines. Thus locking in the five piece assault with chief songwriters and founding members, pukin’ guitar slinger Cole Alexander and bass man deluxe Jared Swilley.
The boys (and gal) are deliciously disconnected here, at times weirder than the most spaced-out Captain Beefheart joint you’ve ever eared yet more rock ’n’ roll than Keef on a speedball. Not one iota of bullshit made its way to the final mix. I wonder if John Lennon heard “It Won’t Be Long” in the arrangement that the Lips mustered here in his head as he dreamt that number up? --- popmatters.com
