<p>Twenty years on, they still kick ass, seeming reinvigorated for the past few years. Mark Arm’s trademark smart-ass lyrics are at their best (with occasional forays into serious darkness). His witty wordplay on the opening track, “I’m Now,” manages within the space of a few lines to reference <strong>Robert Johnson</strong> (“the black light was my baby and the strobe light was my mind”) (perhaps via the <strong>Rolling Stones</strong>), <strong>Captain Beefheart</strong> (“the past made no sense, the future looks tense”), and <cite>The Beverly Hillbillies</cite>. Does it rock? As viciously and rawly as they have in a long time, from start to finish, with no letup. The horns heard on the past couple of albums are gone, perhaps exiled because Steve Turner has come up with a batch of fuzz-riffs so brutal and monumental that nothing else is needed beyond the solid beats of Dan Peters and the fat bass of Guy Maddison. Grunge lives!
