Yow trivialized their music with his hokey clown act. He blustered his way through every song with the same meaningless schtick and as a consequence all their songs 'feel' vey similar.
It's not that he couldn't sing. 'All my favorite singers can't sing.' It's that every song sets the same mood because of him. And it's not a mood that runs very deep. It's superficial and already sounds dated. This band hasn't aged well for me because of the vocals.
I would listen to this band much more, and take much more from the music if it weren't for the groggy-voiced 'crazy guy' shrieking about nothing all the time.
That's a very, very good point.
Ever listen to Elegy?
You expect Jesus Lizard songs to be sung as if they are meaningful? Have you ever payed attention to the lyrics?
Just a band having fun. Don't make it anything more than that.
