Music reviews of Two Nuns & A Pack Mule
Music Review: You want mainstream? Go with Butch Vig!
Rating: 5 Stars
If you're looking for something that is raw, underproduced and benefits from that stripped-down production, Rapeman's "Two Nun's And A Pack Mule" is something worth punishing your eardrums with. And with a huge grin on your face no less!
Steve Albini's very brief incarnation as a part of this group is a bridge between his work with Big Black and Shellac. Compared to Big Black before it Rapeman is a much more primitive experiment. Real drums, tuned-down vocals and extremely overdriven guitar and bass lends a very raw and visceral sound. It may not be as good as Big Black but it was a turning point that led to Albini's next band, Shellac, and the legendary "At Action Park".
And it is a great listen! From the opening line of "Why don't you snuff it, man, you plant-eating..." from "Steak & Black Onions" (yummers) you find yourself hooked into the snide and hilarious commentary and the music itself. From the benefits of having a unified eyebrow to characters such as a lizard-like human, a puny person with an attitude ("...just wait 'til I start Nautilus"), a "Chinee" hooked on opium (same person, perhaps?), the goal of human conception and birth in outer space as a part of the space program to a woman who has literally ______ her brains out, it's very funny! Keep a listen for the Beastie Boys shout-out and the track-length Sonic Youth parody!
Vegetarians, feminists, the "Chinee" and other "politically correct" groups of people who are too uptight for their own good will not like this one bit. There's always that stuff on "easy-listening radio" for those fools. For the rest of us who find all of that just a bunch of crap this is right up our alley.
Oh, and forget Filter! Rapeman was there first and the evidence is in the form of the included "Budd" EP. The opening "Budd" track serves as a dark and brooding dirge dedicated to the late corrupt congresscritter known as "Budd Dwyer" who blew his brains out live on daytime television in Pennsylvania (carried live on Pittsburgh's WPXI-TV at the time). The rest of the Budd" EP serves as a great piece of history of Rapeman playing live.
Get this if you feel that "punk" music nowadays has lost its soul. Solid stuff! And do check out Big Black and Shellac as well.
