country on the click was the falls
monumental 24th studio album released in 2003 and received
generally positive reviews. The album was extensively remixed and
re-recorded and a number of versions of each song were produced.
“green eyed loco man” starts the
album as the song bursts into life with mark smith stumbling his way
through the song like always, smith's vocal style and lyrics are very
unusual and adds an interesting dimension to the steady guitar. this
song really sets the mood for the rest of the album - strong guitars,
strange vocals with a hint genius. “mountain energy” begins with
a strong beat and a rumbling guitar, soon after smith comes in with
very abstract lyrics, the chorus is quite gentle but very catchy and
melodic, the guitars make the song very casual and easy. “Open The
Boxatosis #2” is a very fast paced song, the guitars make the song
exciting. the chorus of "open the box" is very catchy. In
between the chorus' the song is quite mellow and simple the starts to
build up with the chorus on loop for a loud finish. “Loop41
'Houston” begins with a heavy but repetitive bass, it suddenly
morphs into a jolly sounding song, the lyrics are mainly focused on
bad luck, they are very abstract but they manage to make sense
somehow, the song is very steady, laid back and almost tired
sounding. The song continues in a sort of loop before it just kinds
of ends.“Proteinprotection” has a very dangerous sounding intro
with tense staccato guitars over a rumbling bass. Smith starts to
drawl over them, the guitars pick up occasionally into a sort of
chorus. The song is very vague and leaves the album at an almost
unanswered question when the song drops out rather suddenly.
Country On the click is Ascrono music's
album of the week because its very different, nothing seems to have
been written and recorded for any particular reason except for fun
and enjoyment, although some of the songs are almost empty, there are
small moments of musical genius vary from the lyrics to enticing
melodies.
