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