 Mental
Floss for the Globe
This stuff was somewhat ahead of its time.
You can hear twinges of Rage Against the Machine and even Sugar
Ray in there, along with any number of late-nineties acts that
mixed honky-tonk with hip-hop. And to think these guys are from
Brussels. I mean "Deeper Shade of Soul" was a genuine college
hit, beating some of Beck's offbeat
qualities by a whole four years or so. I'm not going to tout
these guys as the second coming of Living Colour or anything
(ha!), but they certainly strung together some pretty cool sounds
that would have gotten at least an 8.3 from Pitchfork for originality
had it been around back in the day. Hooray for guitars and scratching! |
