Title: Musically interesting, vocally repelling
Product review: A guy I work with was playing this CD last night and I was struck by how interesting the music was. An awkward white-boy funk that falls somewhere between the Dead Milkmen and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. The keyboards add an especially unique sound. If this were an all-instrumental band, I'd enjoy it quite a bit.The problem is, the lead singer sounds like a strangled cat. His idea of getting his emotions out is by squealing and screaming at piercing levels. He has no soul...not in the musical sense, anyway. I laughed when I read the reviews comparing him to Prince and James Brown. Puh-leeze. I can appreciate lo-fi garage, but this is ridiculous.Two stars for the music, negative stars for the vocals. Fire the lead singer and regroup.
