Royal Trux - Accelerator (Reissue)
Accelerator’s savage vitality hasn’t diminished one iota in the intervening decade-and-a-half: quite what point it’s ultimately trying to make remains typically elusive, but you get the sense that it’s somehow been proved right in the long-run.

I enjoy how the style of this review...
...apes the sound of the record in the clutter of its chaotically overdriven language. Not sure whether it was intentional, but it works for me.
Good spot!
I do try to do that a bit - see also my Lightning Bolt and Eighties Matchbox ones for similar, Richmond Fontaine for contrast.
Classic album
Great review. I'd nudge it up to a 9/10 though. The headfuckery of that guitar solo meltdown/explosion/implosion in Juicy Juicy Juice is a 10/10 in itself.
Reading this review comes on the back of listening to Sweet Sixteen an awful lot this week. Gotta love the 'Trux baby.
(Banana Question - ahhh, I've got my 4yr old daughter singing that one lately...."is that a question, banana question!")
Think that
Cats and Dogs signposted to a very promising major label relationship rather than suggesting that they got picked up after Twin Infinitives, hardly Death Grips are they?
Also, Stevie is an ode to none other than Steven Segal..!
