Negative Positive
Title: One great song is not enough.
Review: Clutch's _Transnational Speedway League_ starts out with a considerable bang. "A Shogun Named Marcus" is one of the greatest heavy rock songs of the 1990s, and is probably the best song that this admittedly talented band will ever write. One of the great sing-along choruses in the history of the heavy rock and a driving musical force that will not be denied. _TSL_ is probably worth picking up used just for this song alone, IMHO.The problem is that the rest of this album just does not measure up. It's as uneven as the numbers 7 and 15. While "Marcus" is a stronger song than any of the tunes on their later album _Clutch_, that album, as a complete work of art, absolutely destroys _TSL_. Get that one first.2 stars only for the formidable "Marcus".
