Diamond Nights - Popsicle [2005]

yeah yeah and yeah i raved about this earlier

but now i fucking got it and it won't let me go

pearlier pop would be hard to find for surelier

excuse me if i wasn't paying attention

when this came out, but i was

too busy not paying attention

to fucking care

anyway,

if 'derivative' or

'under the influence'

are terms you find

'problematic'

this may not be your thing

if,

however,

 ass-shredding

brilliant production

and

riff-laden lush

hard-pop harmonic 

confections

are the apple of your eye

this is the fucking core

to put in your pupil

(seriously -- nice work)

Yes this may well herald Guilty Pleasure Tuesdays. So be it. No bones made about how severely fucken hard this album rocks, melts faces, insert term du jour for "kicking nvts." Took the Kyuss schtick and stripped it down, added fine melody, a twist of some drone, pinch of harmony, that certain ganja focus.

I will simply say that I want to take this record out behind the middle school and get it pregnant.
