Date: 8.12.2005 Author: Magazine: Pop Matters Media The Graves Brothers Deluxe, Light (Good Forks) Rating: 3 You instantly think of Green Day or The Living End if influenced by Less Than Jake on track numero uno by The Graves Brothers Deluxe -- a light but very hook-tinged bass line that gives way to some great guitar from Willy The Mailman, who also plays the sax. As a result "About the Future" is a quirky but solid effort. "We'll fight and fornicate all night," the lyric goes as a guitar hits a stellar high note. "I Hear Light Coming Down" is another slow song that goes into another gear, a grunge-y, garage-like mid-tempo pop tune. Fortunately there are one or two early memorable numbers, particularly the seedy guitar all over "Legs Rub Together" which recalls Singapore Sling. "The White Devil's Death Song" could be mistaken for a Reservoir Dogs contribution. But the record tends to get a bit old too quickly, hitting a wall with the bland "Big Chain Store" and not faring much better with the almost equally insipid "Seen It All". The band seems just to go off the rails and don't care about finding the way back, especially on the average "Nerves". [ooooh, "insipid." more, more, bring it on!]
