So, we talked about the Melvins a couple of weeks ago and how they drafted the entire band Big Business into their fold. This happened in 2006, I believe, and here we have a track from Big Business from 2007. You can hear the similarities. In fact, if you had told me this was the new Melvins release, I probably would have believed you.
They've got the same metal-influenced, bottom-heavy, hard rock style, which I dearly love. Intense, sturdy drum work and thick, detailed bass riffing underscore the urgency of the screaming almost-metal vocals. This is coupled with a great sense of dynamics and pacing and even a nice melody with what sounds like harmonies, but could just be the overtones generated from his shouting. It's tough to tell.
"Shields", from their 2007 release, Here Come the Waterworks, hits on all cylinders and is a perfect example of their sound at its perfection. There's not a duff track on the entire disc. A great album.[You can listen to Big Business' "Shields" by navigating to the post "Song069" and clicking or right-clicking on the title or the link.]
