Big Ripper Riot Season

Todd: Big Ripper
People with loose sphincters ought to watch for the bass notes on ‘The R(Wub)’ or at least stock up on Tena Lady pants. Big Ripper is a fearsome cacophony of sludge metal, a set of tectonic plates of distorted noise rubbing against each other until they ejaculate earthquake hardcore over the world. I’m no fan of metal, though I can listen to the avant-noise that Foetus, Sonic Youth, Liars and the like have produced. So I suffered much of Big Ripper but appreciated the rhythmic patterns in ‘Between Them Two Roundabouts’, wondered whether the namesake of ‘Julie B’ actually appreciated the grinding pain inflicted in her name, and applauded the druggy experimentalism of ‘French and in France’ which dares to play with pulsing sound. This is one to keep under lock’n’key apart from when you want to pursue a feud with the neighbours but even as a metalphobe there are bits that I can recognise as good and inventive. Just don’t make me listen again.
