Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu


Musical genres are funny things. I started listening to this album, knowing nothing about it, and initially assumed that it was hardcore punk of some variety. I then checked the track listing and saw that the first song was not far short of six minutes and the next two were even longer. The next clue was the vocal style which was that distracting screaming where the lyrics are pretty much incomprehensible. Fine if you like that sort of thing, but not really my cup of tea.

Vocals aside, I enjoyed the digressions into random noise and math rock guitar noodling, particularly the last track on the bonus version where the voice was way down in the mix and much more enjoyable as a result. 

A pretty solid 3 stars from me.
