4.0 out of 5 stars
Let's make rock and roll!, March 2, 2001
This review is from: It's Low Beat Time (Audio CD)
Another aural treat from Seattle's most under-rated band. While not as all-out excellent as their debut album, "Low Beat Time" is still a good record if a bit of a grab-bag. The Fellows have aged gracefully, but they can still rock (evidenced on "Mr. Anthony's Last," "She Won't Budge," and others), and their unique wit is still evident ("She Won't Budge," "Snow White," "Green Green, and more). There are a few oddballs ("The Crafty Clerk" is a weird instrumental featuring trombone and flute), and the sound varies from song to song ("She Won't Budge" and "99 Girls" are ragged rockers, "Faultless" is a melancholy ballad, not to mention the aforementioned "Crafty Clerk"), but overall it's a good disc. And where did they get that "hidden" track?
If you know the Fellows, you'll enjoy this record. If you don't know the Fellows, this album may seem a bit strange (you might want to try their first two albums before venturing here), but trust me: try it, you'll like it.
