Head For The Shallow

A colossal, cudgeling record. One that's been along time coming & fills a real pronounced need for heavy, loud music. They have cultivated their 'fast & low' deal to the point where it's a thoroughly metallic affair-& that's the point. Where a lot of folks took quite along time to get next to what KARP did, a lot of the reviews have come back sort of missing what makes this record a crucial part of the heavy rock canon: it's the screaming, the leaden bass tone & the precise & loud-assed drumming. If that's not you're bag, then by all means, keep your distance.
