Title: Red and Black, it's their color scheme...
Review: This is not 'metal'...at least by the definition the label has been given in the past 25 years, including endless variations on a palm-muted E-string, cookie-cutter scooped tones, and lame hoarse vocals. No, this album is better than that, and was the fastest, sickest record to have come out in 1973--only "Raw Power" (the Stooges) comes close. We're talking about a band who was donning leather and riding 'cycles onstage years before Judas Priest. The dingy production and trebly, buzzsaw rhythm guitar sound of T&M anticipates countless lo-fi artisans from the Ramones to Darkthrone, and with lyrical topics ranging from devil worship to the exploits of the RCMP to a she-murderess who hides the remains of her prey in streetside bushes, you couldn't have a band more heavy metal, yet with the ironic wit of a bunch of New York intellectuals unleashing their demons. Get this.
