Album Review
Listen to the first couple of cuts from the Black Lips' self-titled debut album and it sounds like you've uncovered yet another nuevo-garage rock band with an extra shot of punk rock attitude. All well and good, but let the album sink in and you realize these kids have a bit more up their sleeves — the tres-wasted psychedelia of "Freakout," the creepy blues crawl of "Stone Cold" and "Down and Out," and the free-form dementia of "You're Dumb" prove these guys have been absorbing their influences from any number of less than wholesome sources. A bit like the Dwarves pre-Blood Guts & Pussy, the Black Lips are looking for something dirty, dangerous, and just plain unhealthy beneath the energetic veneer of garage punk, and on this album they don't have much trouble finding it. While the performances are often ragged to the point of near collapse, that seems to be the point much of the time, and the addled wail of singer Cole Alexander is a fine mouthpiece for this journey through the gutters of your mind. Savage and not for the squeamish, but cool stuff for folks who like their rhythm hooch in a dirty glass.
Customer Reviews
Warm Dirty Swap Punk Blues From Georgia
As The Black Lips continue to make more of a name for themselves, their debut LP will prove to become more and more bogged down by cleaner, poppy, crappy songs like "Bad Kids"; which is to bad because their true roots lie in this record. It is a recalcitrant ode to the swamps of their hometown Georgia, where disturbed beauties about a pregnant girl like "Ain't No Deal" uneasily satisfy. Singer Cole Alexander's rusty voice seems to barely make it from his microphone to your speakers, wailing "She was, she was about 17/ She was actin' just like 18". "Stone Cold" comes along next, its reverb drenched creepiness never comletely settling or becoming familiar, even among many listens. "Crazy Girl" comes along with a wave of fuzz, quickly settling back down to the dirty swamp blues of "Can't Get Me Down" and "You're Dumb". Worrying, unsettling and most of all, beautiful.
Why not this?
Why is Good Bad Not Evil so acclaimed and not this album. This is some of the most original noise I've heard in quite some time, and its not some slow early flaming lips acid punk rip off. This music is meant to be noisey and fast and rough and altogether unflattering, its what gives it so much attitude and personality. Vice records has completely confused the Black Lips.
Best Garage rock ever
Okay, I listen to a lot of "Garage Rock" and by far this has to be one of my favourite albums by The Black Lips and a perfect example of modern "Garage". The music is raw and real. Perhaps my favourites are: "Crazy Girl" , "You're dumb", "Freakout" and "Fad". Most deff one of the best Black Lips albums.
