The fourth album by the Deathray Davies is kind of a combination of all of their previous albums and it really sounds great. The band wasted no time in getting out new material after their last effort "Day of the Ray" and "Midnight at the black nail polish factory" will not disappoint. It has all the good things about the band from their garage rock sound to the more experimental side like on their sophmore album "Return of the Drunk Ventriloquist". Imagine if the best of all their albums were combined, but yet still had a new distinct sound. That would describe this album, with great songs and tight musicianship. This album gets better with each listen and no track needs to be talked about. The album needs to be listened to as a whole and enjoyed for what it is a "masterpiece".

I'm assembling teams of folks to go around introducing Midnight At The Black Nail Polish Factory to my fellow villagers. They've seemed down in the dumps lately. I don't know if it's gas prices, or the fact that they aren't finding their domestic situations what they'd once hoped they would be, but I do know that if we bring this album to their attention, they'll forget their worries & be filled with the sort of joie de vivre that usually only comes from bagging an 8-pointer, or maybe landing a monster tarpon.
The whole slab flays the blues, but that Eiffel Tower track is so #@ing uplifting that you better not listen to it before a funeral or people are liable to call you an insensitive bastard. Trust me.
Send yr info & I'll give you instructions on where & when to meet. Please also say if you have a boom box--we'll want those of you who do distributed among the canvassing teams. I have spare batteries if yours are low. And, if I run out, I have a 150' extension cord & you can maybe just do my immediate neighbors.

The Deathray Davies are one album away with this release. It's a darker sounding disc than there next one (just check the title), but still full of the hooks they do so well. However, it's not as catchy or instantly rewarding as 2005's The Kick and the Snare. Still, you can't go wrong with DRD.
