Music reviews of Take The Manic Ride
Music Review: Yes, they do sound like Black Flag
Rating: 4 Stars
Gotta respond to this:
"People compare them to Black Flag and Neider's guitar is similar in tone but that's where it ends. Bl'ast! were much more techinically sound and their use of diminished (dissonant) chords and scales owe more to bands like VoiVod or King Crimson and of course Black Sabbath than Ginn's noise, even if subconsiously."
Neider and the rest of the band would be sorry to hear you say that. Blast made it no secret that Black Flag was their one greatest influence. The thank-you list on their first album listed about a hundred different people, and then it ended with "And thanks to Black Flag for existing". They strove to emulate Flag and they were proud to be compared to them.
However, it's true that this, their third and final album, is their least-Flag-sounding release. The similarity is still there, though the influence was clearly coming more from Flag's later releases e.g. Loose Nut and In My Head. But they had also moved beyond their influences and developed a sound that was truly their own and truly unique. It had nothing to do with King Crimson or Voivod... though in all fairness Greg Ginn was probably influenced by Crimson, and some have labeled Blast as "progressive hardcore." Personally, I feel that this album and their second album (It's In My Blood) are very much overshadowed by their first album, Power of Expression. They had an amazing dual guitar dynamic and energy that they lost when original guitarist Steve Stevenson left the band and left Mike Neider on his own.
