Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

With Out of Your Mind, Dub Narcotic Sound System join the pantheon of Beck, Money Mark, and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion as loopy experimenters in rock, rhythm, and soul. The album, their second full-length outing, has a funky carnival midway of sounds ranging from the lo-fi organ wailings of "Basemess" to the busted-flat-in-Chicago blues of "Papa's Got a Brand New Burnbag." Riff-heavy hits like "Teenage Time Bomb" and "Shock Mount" are dance-floor pleasers, but the LP also has quiet moments, like the moody jazz of "Dub Narcotic's Delight." Dub Narcotic Sound System leader Calvin Johnson takes a radical departure from his groundbreaking indie band Beat Happening to become this generation's James Brown, an idiosyncratic cheerleader for getting loose and going wicked-bad. --Lois Maffeo

4.0 out of 5 stars wicked bad, December 22, 1998

By A Customer

for those of you who love the lonelyness of listening to music nobody else can share with you and dancing like nobody else dances this will perfectly suit your needs. don't get me wrong - i played out of your mind to several people and some did like it but it's no music to march to, to wave the american (or as in my case the german) flag at. it's teenage riot time. it'S the music for fast train rides, when you stand between cars and see small portions of the rails under your feet. one can dance to it and one can cheer to it during bumpy rides up to the black forest. I wish to listen to it sitting on a huge log drifting north towards olympia, wash. and hitting puget sound with it. 4 stars because the halo benders occupy the 5ht. thanks cal! next time you should get liz phair as a duet partner.
