referencing Motionless (CD, Album) AMREP 020
Three songs stick with me and are, in my opinion, essential noise rock songs of this very elite & competitive era for great noise rock: “Shine,” “Never,” & “Spear.” “Shine” brilliantly opens the disc with a quiet-then-very-loud onslaught, much like PJ Harvey did on her essential LP of this same year, Rid Of Me. “Never” has careening surf-blues-noise riffage; “Spear” starts with unforgettable rapid-fire drumming before settling into a groovy stoner metal jam before the cool drumming makes a brief return.
My problem with this album is the over-reliance on simple, slightly-mutated bluesy rock rather than more ambitious & angular ingredients as used by, say, Unwound on their debut platter from, yup… 1993. (Actually, their first, even more brutal mini-album was recorded in ‘92 but not released until ‘95.) So aside from those three great cuts I mentioned, the rest of this album comes off more like Come, Violent Green, or some of the also-rans from Sub Pop’s stable.
Having now owned both, original is far superior to this reissue. Way less noisy, sounds better, and the cover is a lot prettier imo. Go for an original.- Pressing is a bit noisy. Cant' compare to an original copy but it doesn't sound worse than the Cd IMHO.
Music is great.
