Bribes are always gratefully accepted, so the bag of spacedust sets this CD up for a likely favourable review. A good sleeve too so hopes are high when I slip the CD in the player, and peak with the intro: “Do you want to count this in for posterity? 1-2-3-4”.
Sadly, it’s all downhill from here, at least for myself – I know plenty of people who will enjoy this punk-metal mix, but the tunes a la Sabs or Zep just ain’t for me. I can even hear some Husker Du in here but sadly (again), it’s more the ploddy Grant Hart stuff. Probably one to to have a listen to for yourself – at myspace.com/smnwail4u (even the url’s fun).
I feel bad now, I wanted to like it, but some things aren’t meant to be.
