but I don't compare anything and I don't make a fuss about rankings of the best; I jump from my chair even when I hear the opening of "Anarchy in the UK" (even if my grandfather knew that the Pistols couldn't play) and the blue thrill comes back to me, and it doesn't happen with all the bands in this world, even (and especially) with the refined and creative ones...

@pasquale "but they are rough and lack creativity"... look, they were punk, not prog. Nick Lowe recorded them with an eight-track tape machine in a couple of days. Later on, they would refine their sound, even grazing pop and gothic (see Strawberries), but who cares about them anymore?

the punk album by the Damned! When "Neat Neat Neat" kicks in, you realize that the magic of rock is being renewed, the resurrection flows from the trembling guitar of "1969" by the Stooges to that of "This gift" by Mudhoney... When they toured the USA, the guys who played in the newly formed American punk bands like the Avengers went home filled with wonder. Rat Scabies on drums was phenomenal. It's a shame they ended up playing in discos like that crazy Captain Sensible. PS. thanks for the link to my review of the Missing Links ;)

Well, you do two reviews of Ox and leave out what I think is their best album, the first one from 1971, which also features the legendary Vivian Stanshall from the Bonzo Dog Band and none other than Keith Moon on drums. It's an incredible record with outrageous riffs, something between a four and a five. The ones you reviewed I remember being much inferior to the first one.

I know well the bliss provoked by the kind of trance you experience while listening to this wall of metal that compels you to headbang, ahahaha.

Perhaps it would also be fair to mention some magic words that explain many things, like the accordion of David Hidalgo (Los Lobos) that supports the album, or the guitar of pettyan Mike Campbell (ex Heartbreakers), not to mention the lyrics of a mythic figure among songwriters like Robert Hunter (Grateful Dead). Perhaps this is why the album has new life.

I forgot to vote and to say that beyond granite, the right adjective is ...monotonous ;-)

"Granite" is the right adjective; sometimes they remind me of the Surfists of the Asshole when they decide to hammer heavily. This is grunge-punked ("Hole" is self-explanatory), and guess who the producer is? "Henry, Blood Rain" is the film that Nanni Moretti mocks in "Dear Diary"...

@sho' : the issue of Scott Thunes was the reason that led Zappa to disband this band after the European tour and to cancel the remaining concerts once they returned to the USA. It’s true that Frank cared about him, but it was the rest of the crew who couldn't stand his arrogant ways when he substituted Zappa during rehearsals, and the tension was so palpable that knives flew on stage. True to his democratic spirit, the mustachioed one asked the others if they wanted him to replace Scott with another bassist, and when everyone said yes, he tyrannically disbanded the group. He couldn’t tolerate a challenge to his leadership, and he wanted Scott. Hence, the Genoese fans were the last audience to see Zappa pick up a guitar for a solo, and it's the one in "Outside Now" on this album.

But you should see the photo of the inside cover, Zappa sitting at a desk with the word "president," a red-and-white checked jacket, a yellow shirt, a red bow tie, his hair blown up in the air, winking at the camera while holding a copy of "Soldier of Fortune," the magazine dedicated to mercenaries and professional soldiers, the USA flag on the wall and a telescope on a tripod aimed at the window straight at the Capitol in Washington, with a phrase from Reagan written on the wall: "Facts are stupid things."
