Music reviews of Basement Screams

Music Review: Zapped
Rating: 4 Stars

Favorite tracks on this one are: "Bombshelter" (great to listen to with headphones), "Tojo," "Swingo," "Potential Rapist" -- the rhythm section on these is just stellar -- machine-gun drums and galloping bass (the bass reminds me a lot of Wire, incidentally). Speaking of Wire, I thought their cover of "12XU" to be sludgy -- way too slow.

I think NR's work has held up well, managing not to sound dated. It's a short album, so you can cycle through it over and over again, which is good, since you'll come to appreciate the music as you listen to it more. There's an interesting commentary on the inside jacket by Steve Albini, and some great pictures.
