Title: THE B.F. GOODRICH OF MODERN METAL
Product review: Few bands are as impressive in style and demeanor as Clutch.They have been in the same boat as another metal band where it is hard to put a label on them...Blue Oyster Cult. Clutch hails from Germantown, MD, with a hard-driving, funky, hard-stomping sound of music that I like to call true working-class metal.It appears that what is now corporate radio in America is ready to pin Clutch up as a one-hit wonder with THE MOB GOES WILD. The radio powers that be were content to do the same thing with Argent with HOLD YOUR HEAD UP, another good song but not willing to showcase Argent's other stronger songs. Oh for a radio station ready to present and promote WORM DRINK, ARMY OF BONO, or SPLEEN MERCHANT!It's neat how listening to a Clutch album, especially this one, doesn't make one feel depressed or empty of energy. BLAST TYRANT has a lot of get-up-and-go and it's amazing how Clutch's songs stay in your head during the day.
