Fifteen years later and I still don't have the vocabulary to describe the guitar tone in "Bat Macumba."

bainbrombs

people talk a lot of shit about brainbombs being like the ultimate rock 'n' roll expression of unbridled id and like the band that would make Fun House shit itself and Joseph Minghella say "that's nasty" but I'm calling shenanigans. They're mildly diverting at best but there's just something so ungainly and goofy about the whole affair that's probably good in that it makes them impossible to take seriously as serial hatchet murderers but it's also bad because it makes them impossible to take seriously as noize godz. It seems so silly now that I was afraid to listen to them for fear that I was going to REALLY love them and then be forced to defend those lyrics. No chance of that - they're a novelty act, Turbonegro for wannabe nihilists. They're Cards Against Humanity: the band.
