Equally brilliant and frustrating
3 May 2000
By Will Zificsak
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Leatherface's posthumous (well, at the time anyway) "The Last" was a double-edged sword: the music was the strongest and most imaginative of an already brilliant career, true, but the record was never finished. What you have here is the quartet's final six studio recordings, plus two more tracks swiped from the prior "Mackem Bastards" single. Those two aren't much (a Snuff cover and a Louie Armstrong imitation), but the other six are breathtaking. "Little White God" remains stupefying: reggae-influenced, sure, but no neo-ska nonsense to speak of. "Daylight Comes" remains one of the band's finest straight-punk songs, but the truly show-stopping moment is the one that breaks the mold: "Shipyards", with nothing more than piano, bass and drums backing Frankie Stubbs' one-of-a-kind voice and insightful lyrics. Truly breathtaking.
Is "The Last" worth the import dime? Absolutely, especially in terms of quality-over-quantity. But be sure to save some of your allowance for "Horsebox", their forthcoming new LP, because it truly fufills "The Last"'s enormous promise.

Finally back in print - with a little bonus for the fans!
28 May 2001

Format:Audio CD
It's about time this cd was available domestically. But instead of just putting out the original print of The Last, BYO decided to up the ante and put in the Pope (Frank Stubbs first post-Leatherface project) record in as well. All in all this is a great cd for the fans.
Track by track there is a lot of bittersweet songs on this cd. Little White God, the discs opener (and my personal favorite song) is a story about Heroin abuse. And the Pope songs continue the theme presented in The Last. Overall though there is a feeling of hopefulness perhaps in Stubbs' trademark gritty vocals, that leave the listener with a warm feeling. There is a reason that this band is revered in the underground, and this cd just proves it further.

BYO release
30 May 2002

Format:Audio CD
The Leatherface songs on The Last are mostly mediocre. But there is a plus. The BYO reissue of this has the POPE album JohnPaulGeorgeRingo, minus ONE song. This is some of Frankie's best stuff.
