Rating: Once upon a time, there was a beautiful invention called GRUNGE. There were its champions and the witch hunt for impostors... There were the STP who sold millions of records but were always on the scaffold ready to be executed. After TINY MUSIC, many trembled as the final hour seemed imminent.
A couple of years pass; the plaid shirts are abandoned, and a nice sampler is set up in the bedroom next to the Les Paul, we lament their disappearance: there is no consolation with the CREED nor with the NU-METAL, and then one day, the miracle...
The beginning is intense, the power of DOWN would make any CROSSOVER group pale, it feels like listening to a vastly improved CORE group, the tension eases after another 2 songs: CHURCH ON TUESDAY and SOUR GIRL duet, the first ironically reminiscent of ART SCHOOL GIRL from the previous work, the second is a taste of pure sweetness.
Back to full throttle, after the beautiful NO WAY OUT which shows us an excellent use of the sampler in rock, and the stoogian SEX AND VIOLENCE, GLIDE takes us back a few years. Pause or maybe not! I GOT YOU is to be praised only for the finesse of the execution, Mc5 sounds like IGGY POP on drugs and praise to the eponymous fathers of garage rock... a few seconds of silence and stereo to the max: the masterpiece has arrived with full orchestration, MORRISON soaring over the vocal lines, with KRETZ giving a great performance.
They truly are back, and this time many true impostors would do well to change jobs.
