Creedle gone jazz! Well, not exactly, but with the addition of future 20th Congress saxman Cochemea Gastelum, SW4QW is often referred to as Creedle's "jazz" album even though it rocks just as hard, if not harder, than the first two. Sure the serial killer, exorcism and Manly Hall references are all gone, but this album is still as strange as they come. Film Co-work-co. would have been the obvious radio hit if there was any justice in this world (guitarist/vocalist Devon E. Levins remakes it on his new band's album The DaoSon For). The production work of Jehu's Mark Trombino and backing vocals of Pinback's Rob Crow are an added bonus. There is even a secret hidden track before the album even starts that sums the whole thing up in a few seconds (hit play then immediately hold down the rewind button).

Not sure how to describe Creedle, even in today's multi-genre music. Think of the elaborate writing styles of Drive Like Jehu, the musical drive and ambission of John Zorn and a level of creativity that I've yet to see surpassed and you haven't even come close to the sounds of Creedle. This album was their last, as they broke up and moved on. If only "Co Work Co" had a video and a single on the radio; you would have already known about this band. Buy this album while you can.

Ok, not so much 'rock' on this albulm compared two their previous two masterpieces but a strong/funny/jazz-in-helly effort. if you arent a ... who still lives with your mom you will grow to like this albulm as much or more as 1/2 man and silent weapons. Its also half the price of the others if you are cheap. shut up and buy it. i actually got to see them play live in a LA dive and they were great. if they only played more shows.....
