TROPICAL TRASH - UFO ROT (LOAD 147)

THE DEBUT ALBUM BY THE STILL-GOING TROPICAL TRASH, A GROUP OF DUDES FROM LOUSVILLE KENTUCKY, REMINDS ME QUITE A LOT OF SACRED BONES ACT "THE MEN". THAT'S NOT A CRITICISM - THE MEN DID A RECORD IN 2012 THAT RULES AND THEN HAVE SINCE PURSUED A MOJO MAGAZINE AESTHETIC. TROPICAL TRASH PICK UP THE ALTERNATIVE TIMELINE OF CONSULTING THE BANDS LISTED IN "OUR BAND COULD BE YOUR LIFE" AND RUNNING WITH IT.

I LIKE THIS RECORD BECAUSE TROPICAL TRASH ROCK AND PLACE A PREMIUM ON YOUR FUN AS A LISTENER. IT ISN'T NEW IN THE SLIGHTEST. SOME PEOPLE WILL SEE IT AS JUST AS MUCH AS AN EXERCISE AS THE RYAN ADAMS 1984 EP (WHICH I MAINTAIN RULES) BUT ULTIMATELY IT'S A BUNCH OF GOOD SONGS EXECUTED WELL. WHEN WE PORE OVER THIS STUFF AS WE LOOK AT GREEK CLASSICS TEXTS WE DON'T REALLY SEE THE MINOR SHIFTS BETWEEN YEARS, RATHER THAN THE GREATER SWEEP OF HISTORY STUFF.

THIS IS A GOOD RECORD AND AGAIN LIKE A LOT OF GOOD RECORDS ON LOAD OF LATE IT ISN'T GREAT OR DOESN'T MAKE YOU WANT TO RUN DOWN THE STREETS LIKE THE WARRIORS OR SOME SHIT. I'D GO SEE TROP TRASH THOUGH.
