5.0 out of 5 stars The last interesting band?, July 9, 2002

A brilliant album by a brilliant band. Jittery guitars, growling bass, clanking percussion, and strange creepy imagery.

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Obtainium (Audio CD)

I saw these guys recently in Tampa for the first time, and was not at all prepared for the spectacular spectacle that ensued.

Simply put: do not miss these guys live.

I always just innocently assumed that it was the drummer who came up with all the odd clinks, clanks and whatnot that make up the brilliant percussion on all of Skeleton Key's songs. Instead, they actually have a guy that plays his very own "junk kit," composed of upturned buckets, pipes, stacks of broken cymbols, an empty propane tank, and what appeared to be miscellanious auto parts. This guy really steals the show as he does a frenzied dance, almost as if in a trance, reproducing faithfully all of his studio work. This is not to knock the rest of the band, who also put on a great show, but I have to say that the junk guy truly shines onstage.

i'll be honest...i saw them with tomahawk and the melvins.i was extremely pleased with such an awesome opening act.then i actually fell asleep during the melvins.that's not a joke.i loved this band, bought this disc and then fell asleep during the melvins.i've only heard this album by skeleton key,their first album is in my bag still wrapped,i just bought it because i have been itching to hear more.i'm the type of person who plays a cd out for a month then it comes back out in year.but this album has been in and in for 9 months. but it now, you will have no regrets.
