Ovens

On paper this combo sounds like the worst shit imaginable. Oft described as some weird alchemic transmutation of Weezer (one of my most loathed bands) and a classic NWOBHM sound, I wasn’t too sure if this was going to live up to the acclaim. Thankfully, it does. And I can’t figure out how it does. It’s kind of like when you’re walking around and you see something on the ground and you can’t tell not only what it is, but even if it’s organic or synthetic. One of those objects that you really have no idea where the fuck it came from or how it might be used. And then you stare at it for awhile, and people begin to think you’re a nut and then you move on.

  1. This record reminds of Fountains of Wayne, They Might Be Giants & Ween. Let's hear it for brevity!
