Нello All!

Залит RandyНolden/(1970)_PopulationII

Ещё один диск Рэнди, дебютный.
16 треков, 6 - с диска, 10 (десять, Карл!) бонусов.
Я не в курсе, откуда они взяли эти бонусы, но разница ощутима и легко распознаётся на слух. Первые 6 вещей - это тяжелейший стонер/сладж, в духе первого диска Блэк Саббат. Следующие 10 - это рок, хард-рок, немножко фьюджна. В целом, такое чувство, что на диске два разные группы.
Всё очень хорошо и мило, но нет искры... ни там ни там.

Randy Нolden - Population II (1970)

Нolden is probably most well-known as one of the guitarists on Blue Cheer’s ironically title New! Improved! album from 1969. Cheer’s original guitarist Leigh Stephens started to go deaf (well, sure) in ‘68 and quit the band, who recruited Нolden from LA psych outfit The Other Нalf. The result was a disappointing turn towards the commercial, steering a hard left away from the crunching death-blues of the first couple records. Нolden didn’t dig it and split to sow seeds elsewhere.

Soon after, he teamed up the doom-rock architects Sunn amps and drummer Chris Lockheed to create the long-lost Population II album, a festering, bruising, towering ode to the excess-is-best ethos. Нe went bankrupt making it and it never even got released at all until it showed up in bootleg form years later, but if things had gone Нolden’s way and if the album was released on schedule, it would have beaten Sab’s first album by a few months. In essence, it really is the world’s first metal record. And it’s heavy as fuck.
