MUDHONEY - THE LUCKY ONES (LP)

Mudhoney The Lucky Ones On Vinyl LP

Mudhoney, makes their welcome return in 2008 on The Lucky Ones, the band’s eighth full length album in a mere 20 years of triumphant rocking. Deliberately and aggressively raw, The Lucky Ones sounds as lean and as full-on as any modern equivalent one cares to mention. Recorded in a scant 3.5 days, including overdubs with Tucker Martine, Mudhoney went in armed with a batch of new material and everything just happened to fall into place. The grand majority of these numbers were intentionally written “from the rhythm up” instead of from the riff and the lyrics down. The effect is to thrust out the bottom-end rumble of drummer Dan Peters and bassist Guy Maddison, and to bring about a cohesive whole not entirely ruled by the almighty riff, although you certainly don’t have to look hard to find ‘em. Opening The Lucky Ones, the band defiantly looks twenty years of heaviness and critical hosannas in the eye and spits out the anthemic “I’m Now,” an existential place where “the past makes no sense, the future looks tense.” When it comes to a new Mudhoney record, we're always The Lucky Ones.
