Music reviews of Spookydisharmoniousconflicthellride
Music Review: Simply transcendent
Rating: 5 Stars
This disc is the closest Wesley Willis ever came to musical respectability. The WWF was a tight band, a respectable band, and they could have (and for all I know did) play respectable suburban rock&roll behind a different lead singer.
You'll hear a lot of stolen riffs on this disc, including a big long chunk of Rush's "Tom Sawyer", but you can say that about a lot of the best jazz.
A lot of Wesley Willis' songs sound alike, but you can say that about Hank Williams or Robert Johnson.
A lot of people will tell you that Wesley Willis wasn't a musician, that he had no talent, that he wasn't in command of his instrument. On the other hand, I've heard a lot of people say that about Thelonious Monk.
Wesley Willis was not about being a respectable musician. If all you have to say about Willis is that he wasn't a musician, that he had no talent, or that his recording career was exploitation of the man's illness, save your breath. We all know that.
If that's all you have to say about Wesley Willis, you, unfortunately, are the one who is missing the point. I bounce around the house singing "Casper the Homosexual Friendly Ghost", fully aware of the offensiveness of every word I utter, but unable to help myself. I sit at the keyboard listening to "Jesus is the Answer", blissfully cranking out code. I play air guitar to "The Bar is Closed", and I'm not normally the kind of guy who plays air guitar.
The Wesley Willis Fiasco was Nirvana, Rush, Tenacious D, and Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld all wrapped up into a single band. I cannot otherwise put it into words.
Besides, I'm sure Rick Santorum doesn't want you to hear this disc.
