Sometimes
the life of a reviewer can be very hard. For example I you should
write a critic that could be finished with a sentence and you
have to write a real article of it. This happens for example with
WET ANIMAL and their self titled album. Not a
second of this mishmash made of hard – and stoner –
rock can convince. WET ANIMAL would like to be
Aerosmith or Guns and Roses on LSD, but it suffices only for Tokyo
Hotel (German “In” pop-rock-band) on caffeine. The
Songs are a cheap average, boring and predictable. Altogether
I search in vain for highlights, because I only find barrel burst.
The production sounds a lot like the 80´s, and this is a
question of taste. Unfortunately vocalist Shane Pasqualla was
mixed very badly. I wonder how this album can be from Rick Wartell,
founder of the stoner/doom institution Trouble.
