Music Review: Lambchop losing their way
Rating: 3 Stars
Lambchop's first two albums "I Hope You're Sitting Down" and the even more downbeat "How I Quit Smoking" were masterpieces that to say the least, were very difficult to live up to.
Their third album "Thriller" (showing their satirical sense given their tiny audience at the time) fails on the whole to live up to any of the beautiful chamber-folk of their first two masterpieces. The rhythms, in contrast to the sparse, almost goth-like drums on Lambchop's previous releases, are dense and very much akin to the Philly soul of the 1970s, most notably on "Your ******* Sunny Day" and "Hey, Where's Your Girl" where the once beautiful orchestration really becomes too caught up in itself - even if it is still worth listening to owing to Wagner's sense of humour: he remains one of the few people who can be humorous and still make great music.
The title tune was basically My Bloody Valentine-style guitar feedback without a trace of the melody, and only "The Old Fat Robin" do we see Lambchop at their best: this piece stands as a jazzy, melodic piece (with vibes for the first time) on which Wagner's poetic eye moves towards monastic life - which he is as acute on as anything. When he sings "count the plusses and the minuses" you know how unusual Kurt Wagner really is. The closer "Superstar In France" continued in that vein without having quite the same impact, whilst the opener "My Face Your ****" was the kind of satire on punk rock that the world has needed for decades today. At the same time, the folk influeces of "How I Quit Smoking" are gone: replaced by psychedelia and jazz to great effect.
Despite these three great songs, "Thriller" was/is disappointing. At least buy Lambchop's irst two albums (two of the most unique from the 1990s) before trying this.
