MC5/BACK IN THE USA

In which our own David Marsh and Deday LaRene listen and rap about the wonderful new MC5 album, proving once again that record reviews are essentially masturbatory and that they are the two biggest jackoffs in the business.

TUTTI-FRUTTI

Deday-I guess we agree that that’s the worst cut on the album?

Dave-Yeah I was just thinking that man, that that’s a really good thing that’s there, because you just get rid of that. And, all the things that are wrong with it are really obvious...it’s too fast... And it really sounds rushed.

Deday-Yeah, it does and I don’t know what that is. A lot of it, a lot of it is the mix. Cause it is mixed, the whole album is mixed very high.

Dave-And the person it really hurts the most is Rob. I don’t think Robin is at all...whatever you thought of Robin as a vocalist before, he was Robin. And now...he’s anybody. I think Barry said that the first night he heard the album. That remains a valid perception.

Deday-At the same time, sometimes Robin’s vocal really sounded like a boiled owl. And it doesn’t anymore.
