Music reviews of Heavy Trash
Music Review: It's garbage if you liked the Blues Explosion
Rating: 2 Stars
When Van Halen's 5150 album came out, I was 12 years old and was waiting at the mall entrance with my 10-year-old brother to pick up the cassette tape. We bought the tape for something like 8 bucks, rushed home (walkman technology was still quite pricey at the time) and popped it into my boom box. Expecting to hear the Hagarized version of David Lee's 1984, my anticipation peaked as the music started. But wait! The first song sucks. I fast-forward to the 2nd track. No 'Hot for Teacher' drums or 'Panama' stomping guitars? No! 3nd song? It sucks. 4th? Poopies. At this point, anticipation gave way to anxiety. Two songs later, frustration. When the last song on the album didn't even turn out to be an "I'll Wait", I realized what happened. Van Halen went soft, and it's unlikely that they'll make it back.
It's been a while since I bought a Jon Spencer LP. I was a huge fan of Extra Width and still listen to Orange weekly. The repetetive but skillful drums drown out the repetetive but fitting lyrics, and they work perfectly with the experimental mix of groovy heavy guitars, punk rock harmonica, and eerie theremin. Since then, the albums and live shows were routine and repetetive. I saw them for the album that came after "Orange", and then again when they linked up with R.L. Burnside, and the shows were the same. Boring. Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's "Orange" record is their "1984". And this Heavy Trash album is their "5150".
Following nearly the same process as my first major musical disappointment, I bought the Heavy Trash album on CD and put it on in the car right away. First song, weak. Second song, soft. I'll save you some reading by wrapping up my opinion: This album is shallow and empty. Even worse, it recycles a lot of Jon Spencer's already-reused lyrics and the guitar work is lame at best. There's nothing valuable on this album. There was so much potential, but I got nothing out of this album.
That's not entirely true. The album cover is really cute and disturbing. The album itself is just disturbing.
Description of Heavy Trash
Bringing The Timeless Lyrics And Melodies Of Iconic Super Group Abba To Movie Audiences, This Summer Is The Season For Mamma Mia! Meryl Streep Leads An All-Star Cast In The Feature-Film Adaptation Of The Beloved Musical That Has Been Seen By More Than 30 Million People In 160 Cities And 8 Languages Around The World. Meryl Streep Plays An Independent, Single Mother And Owner Of A Small Hotel On An Idyllic Greek Island, About To Let Go Of Her Spirited Daughter Whom She'S Raised Alone. But The Young Bride Has Secretly Invited Some Guests Of Her Own Three Men From Her Mom'S Past, One Of Whom Is The Girl'S Biological Father. Over 24 Chaotic, Magical Hours, New Love Will Bloom And Old Romances Will Be Rekindled, In This Warm And Hilarious Adaptation Of One Of The Most Popular Musicals Ever Written.New York City music pals Matt Verta-Ray and Jon Spencer have joined forces to create one of the strongest works in either of their catalogs. Spencer of course led his own Blues Explosion, after the demise of his earlier Pussy Galore, while Verta-Ray was rumbling about with the similarly inclined Speedball Baby. The two play off each other throughout these thirteen songs with evident glee. Their contrasting vocal styles are heard to great effect on such tandem numbers as "This Day Is Mine." They're joined by a rotating cast of sympathetic players, but it is the strength of their own character and writing that unifies the disc. Sassy, barbed, punchy, and real, they captured each number with rough and tumble perfection. --David Greenberger
In retro terms, this is the perfect party platter for what the B-52's once dubbed a "Party out of Bounds." The raw-edged music represents a blast from the past through the wild frontier of rockabilly, as Jon Spencer (of the Blues Explosion) and Matt Verta-Ray (of Speedball Baby) take a reckless joyride that channels the inspiration of Jerry Lee Lewis and the Cramps. With a warped twang, delirious distortion, and a perpetual leer in the vocals, the stripped-down duo achieve a hopped-up transcendence on "Lover Street" and "The Hump," while showing a more expansive range on "Walking Burn," which brings a bit of a lilt to a world of torment, and the segue of the country-soulful "Fix These Blues" into the majestic "Take My Hand." Prudish ears take note: the playfully suggestive, not quite euphemistic "Gatorade" isn't the thirst quencher sold in bottles. --Don McLeese
