Exclaim!

Utilizing a dual vocal assault, The Blood Brothers harken back to the glory days of spastic rock, punk, noise, chaos. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Product Description

Few bands are striving to bring back a sense of urgency and danger to punk rock’n’roll, however, the Blood Brothers are on a mission to save rock from its self-imposed mainstream stagnation. Featuring members of WAXWING, SHARKS KEEP MOVING, the VOGUE and VADE, This Adultery is Ripe shares similar allegiances to the spastic howl and crash of the JESUS LIZARD, or the frantic contortions of vintage BLUES EXPLOSION, but THE BLOOD BROTHERS have their own take on redemption. Two vocalists battle for mic supremacy, trading screams, screeches, spoken segments and "yeahs" while guitars wail, build and crash as the drums flail and the palpable exuberance of this disc strains against the constraints of its circular plastic prison. Noise rock, indie rock, punk rock, above all it rocks with a voracity found wanting in the majority of rock music. At a lean, mean ten songs in just under 22 minutes, This Adultery Is Ripe’s spastic sucker-punch doesn’t mess around, can we get an! "amen!" --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

The title track....talking about buttering babies....when I first heard it....a tear ran down my cheek. This album contain amazing Blood Brothers classics such as Doctor, Doctor...Jenifer...Marooned on Piano Island...Mutiny on the Ark of the Blood Brothers....Face in the Embreyo....it just doesn't stop! That is...until the album's over and then you smile cause you hear those classic lines "they're f***ing after us!" because your CD player has been on repeat for the past 8 hours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Artfull and inteligent album, December 12, 2002

By 

Jeremy Rosenblum (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

This review is from: This Adultery Is Ripe (Audio CD)

While i would agree that this album is not as strong as their second release, i think that this is still on of the most artfull and stimulating releases in a long time. Another review of this album likend the lyrics to toilet humor. The lyrics in this album are not meant to be funny at all, rather thought provoking poetry that is meant to incite a response. The point of the vocals is not to be melodic, although it is sometimes; it is simply a superb example of what music should be in the years to come

4.0 out of 5 stars the first album from Seattle post-hardcore kings, June 11, 2002

By 

David Iles (Denham Springs, LA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: This Adultery Is Ripe (Audio CD)

i'll start with saying i actually meant to give this album 3 and a half stars. The Blood brothers truly stand out among the underground with venomous, snotty vocals and raspy screams from their two singers that seem to wrap themselves in each other. Guitar simply going everywhere, somewhat technical at times. The bass is very lively, as are the drums. However, this is the groups first release, and when compared to the immense growth of its sequel, March On, Electric Children, seems like a simple first effort. Lyrically, musically, and vocally, the group is light years tighter and more sonically capable on their second full-length. This is not to say that their first release doesn't offer anything. It does what a debut album should, bust out with guns blazing, stomp a mudhole, and let everyone stare in amazement. Tracks like "Rescue", "Doctor, DOctor", and "Mutiny On The Ark Of The Blood Brothers" swagger forth in every direction, overwhelming u almost to an equal with the great At The Drive-In. Speaking of which, famed producer Ross Robinson, who produced ATDI's last album (my personal fave album since Nirvana's "In Utero"), is currently working with the Blood Brothers on their 3rd album, which if it follows in the groups prior releases, will prove unstoppable, as did ATDI's ROC just a few years ago. Fans of the Locust, This Computer Kills, and the Hot Snakes, rejoice, the new kings are in town
