Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The core members of visceral grunge merchants Mudhoney have been peddling their filthy, fuzzed-up rock & roll for nigh-on 20 years now, but the band's eighth album, Since We've Become Translucent, proves these toothless old dogs still have the edge. Returning to a post-White Stripes world where fuzzed-out garage rock is firmly in the ascendant, you'd think now would be the ideal time for Mudhoney to make a quick buck. But this band always possessed a trippy edge that many of their grunge peers lacked, and the opening "Baby, Can You Dig the Light"--eight minutes of wailing brass and sludgy Grateful Dead-style acid jammery--proves they still have a wickedly contrary side. This is certainly no by-numbers record: the dynamic "Inside Job", featuring the MC5's Wayne Kramer on bass guitar, the ragged doom-metal discord of "Crooked and Wide" and the driving "Sonic Infusion" are as good as anything they've ever written. It would be somewhat redundant to compare Mudhoney to newer flag-bearers for the garage sound, bands such as the Von Bondies or the Dirtbombs. But if it finds these hoary old Seattle veterans scoring a well-deserved reappraisal, it can only be a good thing. --Louis Pattison


CD Description

Eighth studio album from Mudhoney and the follow up to 'Tomorrow Hits Today' which was released in 1998. A heady fusionof primitive garage-rock, punk and psychedelic rock. More diverse than their previous records, due partly on their insistence of using a different producer for every three songs recorded.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mark Arm at forty: still banging out a glorious noise, 12 Jan 2003
By A Customer
Are Mudhoney still grunge? Were they ever? Because there's no accepted definition of the "g"-word, it's not possible to say. What is clear from "....Translucent", though, is that Mark Arm and his partners in grime still like it wild, raw, heavy, distorted and psychedelic. This is not the wall of fuzz that was "Superfuzz, Big Muff" or the punked-up "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge": even Mudhoney have to evolve. This time around the pace is a bit slower, the songs are a bit bluesier, and the arrangements a soupcon cleverer. There is even a dash of soul. The big surprise is the eight-minute opening track, a spaced-out, acid-jazz, Hawkwindish monster that collapses amid a cacophony of parping horns and squalling guitars, taking the band's psychedelic leanings further than ever before. It was disconcerting at first, but it's grown on me. For the rest, the terrain is largely familiar: Mark Arm adopts his "desperate" persona ("I'm a winner 'cos I've got nothing left to lose"); Steve Turner ladles out the sloppy, warm, distorted, fuzz; Guy Maddison steps effortlessly into the bassist role vacated by Matt Lukin and Dan Peters does what drummers do. In other words, Mudhoney are still having a laugh, still parodying all and sundry. Above all, they are keeping it energetic and visceral. Though this album recalls The Rolling Stones in places (albeit with added thud and rawness) and though Mark Arm deserves a light rap on the knuckles for the blatant similarities between "Inside Job" (track 7)and the song "From Now On", which he wrote for his side-project The Monkey Wrench (a wild band in a Johnny Cash-gone-punk vein, well worth checking out), Mudhoney remain the non plus ultra of garage bands.

4.0 out of 5 stars STILL GOING STRONG, 27 Dec 2003
Another great album from the masters of fuzz,more pop on this album,and even trumpets and stuff to,i hated trumpets before i heard this album :)
GRUNGE? Who cares? grunge died cause of the media years ago!
mudhoney are still making great music,and anyone who say's otherwise need's therapy!
i mean 'SONIC INFUSION' Itself is a masterpiece,not to mention the rest of this 'BEAUTIFUL' album.
MARK,STEVE,GUY & DAN have made another master piece,let's hope we get another one form them,and then they tour 'WALES' :)
