Comments for Close Lobsters, Headache RhetoricE-MAIL: SHalfpenny@aol.com 'Headache' has a bit more of an edge to it than 'Foxheads', but is still a brilliant piece of works by these Scots. Tuneful, jangly guitars, hypnotically wonderful vocals, and lively, irresistible melodies, contribute to a fantastic album. Possibly a more solid album than 'Foxheads'.E-MAIL: mwestfal@kumc.edu "Headache" is another gem from these popsters. It is a little more polished than the previous records but very good! All the songs are killer! especially "Knee Trembler" I wore this album out and had to purchase another one. Yeah!! MTV even played one of the Lobsters videos from Headache. If they reissue this Lp again I hope they enclose a lyric sheet. What I like about this band is the bass line that provides the backbone to all thier songs. I saw the Lobsters warm up for Bob Mould in Lawrence ,KS and it just ROCKED! I'm not knocking Mould, but I preferred The Close Lobsters. Bob always picks good warm up bands. I could'nt belive that I was there on the front row for that concert. The singer looked like a prep school student with shorts, dress shoes and suspenders. Go get this album! and experience the jangley rhythm line.E-MAIL: sscwon@bellatlantic.net Headache Rhetoric by Close Lobsters is one of my favorite albums of all time! From the sad but poppy opening of "Lovely Little Swan" to the sonic-nervousness of "Knee Trembler", Andrew Burnett and the boys tear through the 80's like a juggarnaut on 80 caps of speed and 4 grams of cocaine. Every track is nervous and tight but remains raw to the core. My favorite songs are: "Lovely Little Swan", "Words On Power", "Nature Thing", "My Days Are Numbered", "Gut Ache" etc. I might as well just list them all. I saw the "Nature Thing" video on 120 Minutes on Mtv and I've been begging them to play it again as a cult classic. Close Lobsters are an amazing group and somebody should create a web page for them so their cds can be reissues. Now, THEY ARE OUT OF PRINT! Come on people! Let's keep the Close Lobsters music alive!E-MAIL: sscwon@bellatlantic.net Check out the Official CLOSE LOBSTERS Home Page at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/2111/lobsters.html or http://closelobsters.areCool.net or http://come.to/closelobstersComments supplied by users do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Roadkill Consulting, Inc. |
