Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

If you're tired of punk rock bands scraping clean the stupid barrel to land the lowest common denominator belly-laugh, McLusky Do Dallas might be just the album you're looking for. An incendiary British rock trio that invites comparisons with everyone from Nirvana to the Fall, McLusky specialise in the short, sharp shock: songs that clock in around two minutes in length, but go some way to reinventing the very viscera of punk rock while they're at it. The opening "Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues" is a case in point: an explosion of shattered cymbals and nodule-inducing vocal ferocity that sounds something like post-hardcore merchants Shellac discovering the notion of catchy pop hooks--so perhaps it's no coincidence that Shellac frontman and legendary alternative producer Steve Albini is credited on production duties. But McLusky's strike rate here is literally jaw-dropping: raw, fearless rock songs like "To Hell with Good Intentions" and "Dethink to Survive" landing with a terrifying consistency. But perhaps the most fascinating track is "Fuck This Band", a quiet interlude on the nature of rock music, laced with no mean seam of irony: "Fuck this band / Because they swear too much / It's a obvious ploy / And irresponsible". Equal parts brains, brawn and pure righteous intent, McLusky Do Dallas sounds absolutely unstoppable. --Louis Pattison


CD Description

Second album of angular, abrasive indie rock from young Welsh trio, their follow-up to 2000's 'My Pain And Sadness Is More Sad And Painful Than Yours'. Influenced by Mudhoney and the Pixies, the album was recorded in Chicago with noise guru Steve Albini. Includes the singles 'Lightsabre CocksuckingBlues' and 'To Hell With Good Intentions'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite Simply Fantastic!, 21 Feb 2006
By A Customer
I only recently discovered this gem of an album, I'm devastated to find the band split up last year. I have since purchased their other 2 albums, their debut 'My Pain And Sadness Is More Sad And Painful Than Yours' is also very good although not on a par with this album, follow up 'The Difference Between Me And You Is That I'm Not On Fire' is not nearly on a par, much darker and less immediate tunes.
This album has a nice line in punky thrashes with catchy guitar hooks (reminiscent of Nirvana), frantic cracked vocals (the only similarity to Pixies as far as I'm concerned) and great lyrics. Stand out tracks for me are -Collagen Rock, What We've Learned, To Hell With Good Intentions, Alan Is A Cowboy Killer and Gareth Brown Says, which features the best opening lines ever of 'All of your friends are c**ts, your mother is a ball point pen thief'...

5.0 out of 5 stars what did we listen to before we bought this album?, 4 Mar 2004
no, seriously, what DID we listen to before we bought this album? it's strange - I had to hear "to hell with good intentions" about 3 times at offbeat(http://www.shef.ac.uk/~offbeat/) before I thought 'hang on, that's possibly the best song ever....'. then I got the album, and now the donnas, million dead, hot hot heat and a load of other stuff are all gathering dust on my kitchen table.

buy this album, you'll love it.....violently.

5.0 out of 5 stars What Frank Black SHOULD be doing, 13 Feb 2003
By Sean Jones "Sean Jones" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
At times Mclusky sound like the World's best Pixies tribute band playing unreleased PiL songs. I can think of no higher praise.

4.0 out of 5 stars Loud
Finally a band kicking off where The Pixies left us hungry for more. With a bit of Black Flag thrown in for good measure. Excellent.
