Customer Reviews
p.s. If you've seen bad reviews of endless nameless don't worry, if you think of wildhearts mixed with a bit of ministry/nine inch nails before you start listening to it ull do fine.
When I first heard it, I was 12 years old, back in the summer time of 1993. It was the only record that made my pulse race and jump up and down like a cat on a hot tin roof. The opening riff to 'Turning American' is one not to be reckoned with and the sheer riffage behind the monster 'Crying over nothing' to this day makes me believe that Ginger and the boys were the second coming!
The sheer excitement of this CD being something new still lasts with me to this day and its 13 years old!!!
Do yourselves a favour dudes, pick up a copy, trust me it will open your eyes and make you realise just how cool and precious this band really are!
By the way, did I mention that this album made me pick up the guitar meself and form various bands? Its all thanks to these guys! Enjoy.
The first four songs are from the "Mondo Akimbo Ago-go" release, but are given a "Anti-Dance Mix" because the quality of the recording was so bad first time round. This mix is essential because the songs can be enjoyed without having to strain your ears.
"Turning American" is simply a feriocious opener, with Ginger screaming, spitting bile and thumping riffs out of his guitar as if his life depended on it. "Crying Over Nothing" keeps up the pace with the same power but drips in melody so fine you be bopping down the street humming riffs to yourself before you know it. "Nothing Ever Changes..." is what the Wildhearts do best, a perfect mix of pop sensibilty hammered home with rock riffs. Classic. Then "Liberty Cap" goes all heavy and shouty, it's fun, it's metallic, it's great to bang your head to, but it's the weakest of the four.
Then the second E.P's songs. "Don't Be Happy...Just Worry". This time round the melody reigns supreme and the guitar becomes more twiddly as opposed to solid riffage. "Splattermania" is Ginger's homage to gorey b-movies, his "TV screen is dripping red, with the gates of hell and evil dead". "Something Weird..." is one of the most sing along songs going, until "Weekend" which somehow tops it, with lyrics of suffering all week until the weekend hits and joy returns. Finally "Dreaming In A" is a bit of a campfire strummer. I think it sounds alot better acoustically, and i would call it the weakest song on the whole collection, but the thing is...it's still good.
So there you are, the roots, the origins, the foundations of the Wildhearts were laid......then came pitta bread, trashing Kerrang! offices and the seminal debut that was "Earth Vs The Wildhearts".....
