You won't be surprised to find the same glorious, fuzzed-out mess that characterizes Mudhoney's work, but there are notable differences here: Monkeywrench provides a twisted take on everything from country to Psychedelic and offers impressive bluesy guitar playing. The boys are in fine form, having recovered from an eight-year gap in recording with the wonderfully pulverizing release of <I>Electric Children</I> in 2000. Songs such as "Solar Relegations" reveal the band at its best; the rhythm section lays down a fast and furious groove (Turner's bass playing is outstanding) while dueling guitars engage in a race to the finish line. Then there's Mark Arm's influential rasp -- an unkempt, sneering yowl. It's comforting to know these gents haven't settled down. - Will LernerGarage Rock Revivalen720Fri, 1 Jan 2010 12:32:37 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7169&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fmonkeywrench%2Fplaylists.rss Featuring Mark Arm and Steve Turner of Mudhoney fame, together with label owner Tim Kerr and Gas Huffer's Tom Price, Monkeywrench is nothing less than a Punk/Grunge supergroup.
