Music reviews of Throb Throb
Music Review: The best and most diverse Naked Raygun album
Rating: 5 Stars
Throb Throb is a throughly fasinating album combining punk sensibilities with post punk and noiseband sensibilities. Somehow it combines the best of both. There are two underlying themes at work on this album, war and sex (or lack thereof). It starts off innocently enough with Rat Patrol with its oi chants and punk riffs, then goes into Surf Combat where the rhythm section begins a hold on the record they rarely let go of. The guitar becomes an instrument of jagged bursts and feedback and it rocks mightily! Gear is similar, a song stating whoever has the most missles wins (tongue in cheek of course!).Metastasis is another great punk song with the guitar coming back out in front for a moment, until the fantastic Leeches. Basically a free jazz type song with a piercing guitar riff over it, stream of conscious lyrics are spewed, every once in a while the chrous of "Leeches, let 'em live" and then back to whatever pops up (is that a food order he places near the end???)until the song segues into the slower more noisey Roller Queen. The song which follows (if you can call it a song) is called On (not listed here, but I am reviewing an older copy. it may be where I Don't Know is listed twice) is basically a track run backwards from start to finish, and the bands chants of No no no no backwards become on. I won't give away what they say but I will say it isn't satanic but it is a tad nasty. The band switches gears again on I Don't Know (on the original LP it was the kick off of side two) and it just a great punk song and the riff at the end is one of John's best ever. Libido is a song similar to Leeches, with more jazzy rhythms but with a humorous slant (he just ain't into sex, but it's not his fault) and the statement at the end is hilarious!! No Sex is an abrasive punk song, followed by Only In America which sounds like it could be an Angelic Upstarts outtake with it's horns and chants. Stupid is just a brutal punk putdown song with a blistering guitar solo and is easily the most hardcore song on this album. The album closes with Managua which is a slow rock song which is probably the weakest track here, but still a strong finish for what was the most original sounding Naked Raygun album. All Rise made a shift to pop punk, and was still great, but it went downhill fast after that.
