Title: everything rock was supposed to be & wasn't...
Review: 'Trees were the most criminally overlooked band of the "GRUNGE" revolution, which makes little sense seeing as how, on this LP as with so many of their others, they were the ideal rock & roll band. The Van Conner bros. guitars tumble and crunch in all the right places, Barrett Martin always pops in with the head-spinning backbeat, and singer Mark Lanegan, with his smoky baritone and hallucinogenic lyrics, shows an almost preternatural instinct to frontmanning, dispayed in the fantastic 'Straight Thru To Any Place'. This album, with it's wacky keyboards, shows the band's sense of humour as hapless indie lads, and is not their most representive. But people who deem themselves true fans of modern rock, not to mention come-lately 'Trees fans, would be doing themselves a disservice not to hear this at least once.
Is the review positive or negative?
