Music reviews of Like Flies on Sherbert
Music Review: One of the most storied albums ever!
Rating: 4 Stars
First of all this is not a conventional GOOD or BAD album. It requires too much explaining for most people to even care to "get it". The album was recorded in a few boozy/druggy nights and was mixed on and off for a year according to Mr. Chilton. The musicians were very unfamilliar with the material (and unrehearsed) which was somehow very attracive to Alex. The album kinda makes sense considering Alex's state of mind at the time - having been burned a few times by the music industry by now. He was in a "if anyone's gonna screw this up it's gonna be me" spiteful mind set. False starts, wrong notes and pure lunacy is accentuated in the mix. Even flaunted.
The Replacements boozy tendencies make a lot of sense after hearing this record. You hear the influence right away.
Maybe it's just me but there's something very exciting and even primal in this recording which you simply don't hear much in "music".
Thank you Mr. Chilton
