Here Come the Waterworks
Here Come the Waterworks Big business is bigger and better than ever, with better hair, bigger hits, and the kind of overwhelming Norman Schwarzkopf-style force that rolls like thunder, stings like a missile, and–above all–takes no shit. On Here Come the Waterworks, their second full-length, bassist/vocalist Jared Warren and drummer Coady Willis (both of whom also happen to be the newest members of underground super-legends the Melvins) unfurl all the mammoth riffs, furious vocals and blazing drum work you’ve come to expect–nay, DEMAND–from LA’s answer to Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. No, wait… make that Sonny Crockett and Rico Tubbs. Either way, there’s a new sheriff in town–two of ‘em, actually.
Customer Review: More than just Rock N Roll
Big business‘ new full length comes off as a new take on the music that inspired this record. It sounds like the best elements of an unknown independent music scene showing influences instead of copycats. To begin first and foremost the bass and drums stand out like you wouldn’t beleive. The opening track begins with a forceful drumbeat and bass sound that makes you want to continue listening. Production on this is fantastic! Every instrument stands out on it’s own, which is something that most bands now as of lately can’t seem to understand. I wouldn’t say the songs are catchy, but they do have an element about them where upon second listen, you’ll definetly remember hearing it the first time around. I’m not familiar with this band’s first album but I heard so much rave about this album that I felt like I had to hear this for myself and I’m glad I did. So overall, great songs, great production, great musicianship, great album. So far in my top 5 for 2007.
