THIRD
ALBUM FROM FEROICOUS GLAMMED UP NY ROCKERS
Great timing. Long a patron of rock'n'roll in the New York manner (all derelict buildings and leather jackets), Bill Whitten's Grand Mal find the world has finally come round to their way of thinking. For we find this record chainsmoking at the end of the bar. We find it dispensing classic riffs, bad attitude and stupid wisdom over each of its 11 songs (scrutinize particularly "Get Lost" and "Quicksilver"), and we see it push an erratic talent reluctantly into the light. The phrase 'good-time rock'n'roll' has long ceased to be a simple endorsement of quality and become a whole culture of unhealthy. Within a family tree that runs from "Exile on Main Street" through Primal Scream and Royal Trux, "Bad Timing" holds it's own brilliantly.
