I'm really just testing out the reviewing functions on Phil's site, but may as well give one of me favourite albums ever the 5* rating it deserves while I'm here eh?
...according to Nathon.
The BJM being the BJM...doing what they want, even if that means playing just two chords for over thirteen minutes on an acoustic guitar while singing about some farmboy killing his parents. Whether 'Arkansas Revisited' really was co-written by Charles Manson is, let's face it, doubtful. But it's evil - in a good way - nonetheless.
But the standout track is 'All Things Great And Small', which deals in that somewhat under-appreciated sub-genre that the BJM do so well - quiet, haunted songs influenced by classical guitar music. It's still got yer normal Anton Newcombe madness, naturally.
So, what do you think? Best reviewer each month gets £10 off their next order!
