Album Review
The first studio work since the 2001 California Crossing sessions, Something Beyond is a short, three-song EP containing two originals and raucous cover of Black Flag's classic anthem "Six Pack." Paddling closer to commercial hard rock territory, Fu Manchu continues to surf familiar waves of heavy guitar riffs, while Scott Hill confidently drops in amplified slacker vocals on the be-boppy "So Far Behind," and the slightly moodier "Something Beyond." Doing right by So-Cal heroes Black Flag, Fu Manchu completely nails the desperate snarl of "Six Pack," which adds to an already interesting resumé of cover songs ("Freedom of Choice," "Godzilla," "Nothing Done," and "Chevy Van").
Customer Reviews
worthy addition
The "Something Beyond" EP contains their single "Something Beyond" and an additional two covers. One, which itunes points out, is a Black Flag cover. I dont know how often Black Flag is covered these days, but I will put myself out on a limb as saying that Black Flag covers are always cool. This is a worthy addition to a fan of Fu Manchu that has all the other stuff. Their sound is solid Fu: grungy guitars with solid hooks and a strong beat. During their hiatus it is a quick fix for a new Fu teaser.
