Title: Absolutely thunderous
Product review: I understand why the previous reviewer didn't like this album; this is the kind of music that pounds so hard that it shakes the fillings right out of your teeth. (That said, there is also some gorgeous cello and pump organ work on this album). This album suffers quite unfairly by starting with its weakest track, which is indeed almost like machine shop noise; I don't know what the band was thinking. When I first bought this album, I almost took it back. But I finally listened all the way through, and was converted -- in fact, over time Nucleus has grown to be one of the albums I listen to most often. Skip over that first track, and you'll find the rest of the album is absolutely killer, melodically thunderous work with crashing mellotron and crunching bass guitar. Very heavy stuff, and very well played.
