So Sick It Hurts: Clutch - "From Beale Street to Oblivion"



"It was once said that 200 Clutch fanatics lived in every big city, leaving the rest of the world oblivious to their funk rock charms and hilarious lyrics. Like Tool, they are adored by heavy rock fans but stand out with their underlying groove, infectious melodies and former teacher Neil Fallon's biblical and sci-fi themed lyrics, which he delivers like a feverish preacher. By combining bluesy guitars and Hammond organ, dinosauric riffs and thunderous drumming, their seventh album lives up to its name. Think Henry Rollins fronting '60s stoner rockers Blue Cheer, mixed with some southern-fried boogie and a twist of metal. It's taken the Maryland quintet 15 years of solid touring to become this good, so jump on board." ~ theage.com
