Excruciating Album Cover Art — Boned

Boned -- Up At the CrackOkay, somebody’s been watching Spinal Tap over and over and over, and thought, “hey, there is a fine line between clever and stupid, and let’s see if we can manage a standing broad jump over that line with electric guitars stuffed down our taught, bulge-revealing pants.” Frightening really. Glory in this AC/DC-like band’s debut album, “Up At the Crack” (released in 2004.)

You can read a review of the seminal work here, though I should warn you that some of the track titles don’t even have the subtlety of Spinal Tap’s “Big Bottom”.

I DO think the titles: “Ain’t No Talking with Your Mouth Full”, “Loaded On Love” and “Tails Up Heads Down” manage to communicate the sensitive, almost poetic feelings the band has for the first flowering of a beautiful and lasting love.

Alltop is all about the sensitive ramming. Originally published in 2007, when the world was young.

    Have we listened to the songs on this album? Maybe it is a statement, or something. Ha!
