Dudhoney
I had an odd thought while listening to Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge: on a couple of cuts (Good Enough, Something So Clear), the band reminds me of Velvet Underground. Obviously, the two bands are from completely different genres, but the guitar strumming is straight up Lou Reed, and the drumming has the single (and simple) minded intensity of Maureen Tucker. Considering this album is considered a classic, it's disappointing. You have to wait 5 songs until you get to a solid tune like Into The Drink. Up until then, the tunes are so basic as to be borderline insulting. I mean, primitivism can be legitimate, but there are limits, at least for me. Unfortunately, Mudhoney is the sort of band that lives and dies on individual songs. They don't have the requisite musicianship to carry them through marginal material. The lead guitarist can't play a lick, and he doesn't have great ears either, so his attempts at artful noise fall flat. I actually like grunge, but this is pretty weak.
Remarkably bad. 1/10.
Meh
Probably great.... for someone who enjoys grunge.
meh no stand out songs, not really the genre for me, grunge rock but just kinda underwhelming
Boring af
