Raging slab the ambassadors of boogie-angst. TOO hard for country and western fans, TOO slow for thrash fans, TOO cerebral for hard rock fans and TOO rock and roll for alternative fans; RAGING SLAB has spent its' 10+ years making music that is too something for somebod. .
Raging Slab 's first major-label album is pretty interesting in retrospect, in that it's both of its time and very clearly a harbinger of the future - which of course is all the more bemusing in that the band was so clearly inspired by the past more than anything else. The quintet's obsession with '70s rock trudge and stomp - perfectly evident with song titles like "Shiny Mama," "Get off My Jollies," and "San Loco" - pretty soon would get full validation in the grunge explosion and even the nü-metal fallout later. But Daniel Rey 's production here is different from the arid punch of the end of the millennium, and his ghost-of- Rick Rubin take on things feels both sprawling and a bit straitjacketed, like it just wanted to go completely nuts but still felt like the way to go was classic rock radio instead of alternative stations.
