Clutch - Clutch (Import, 180 Gram) (LP)

Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing including insert. The American rock band Clutch released their second riff-laden self-titled album in 1995. This stoner rock album shows the signature vocal style of Neil Fallon, catchy drumming and groovy guitar playing. By adding a little funk to the sound they created an instant classic like 'Spacegrass'. The Zeppelin/Sabbath-esque riffs can be heard throughout the album, like in both parts of 'Big News'. Almost every track on the record has some memorable riffing and songs like 'Droid' and '7 Jam' get stuck in your head immediately. If you are into the great '90s rock classics you can't miss on this one. From their early days Clutch created some impressive rocking records. Neil Fallon's vocal work together with the everlasting guitar riffs has always been one of the signatures of the band.

Moving the guitars forward in the mix paid off in spades for Clutch, who continued with their familiar formula of mixing Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath on their sophomore album. Without straying at all from its roots, the band adds a little more funk to its sound ? la Primus, which makes for a more consistent set of songs than last time. Not to mention that the stars shine brighter than they did last time around: "Spacegrass" alone should have become an instant classic, but following minor rotation on hard rock stations, the song -- and the band with it -- was delegated a cult status, compared to the likes of contemporaries Coal Chamber and Korn. ~ Jeremy Ulrey
