The Deviants - Dr. Crow
Monday, June 13, 2011
I suspect Mick Farren fans will love this record. Farren and the Deviants were a counter-culture band from the late sixties, early seventies period. Their approach to music was not intended to be remotely conventional or commercial, so harmonizing soul singers should not be expected. Farren is READING (growling) his poetry more than singing, something the reviewer should have been cognizant of. Farren and the Deviants music is in your face and not for the faint-hearted. I actually wouldn't mind it if the (cool) guitarist toned down the distortion slightly (less mid-range). Farren's voice is already more than abrasive enough. This recording may possibly be too intense for the average listener. If so, such person should probably go and do some gardening while listening to Vetiver instead. Or, possibly, the above reviewer should just decline writing this review assignment and go home to his Slipknot collection, as he feels this recording is just "too psychedelic" (I interpret that as a complement). Ignore the laughable review above and give Dr. Crow a spin.
