Ground Control Magazine, Album Review >>

Remember the first time you heard Was (Not Was)? It was weird, right? Here was this band who could knock out awesome rhythm tracks – great beats, good guitars and a kind of worldly spice – and it had some totally oddball vocal track on top of it which was (probably) screaming out some unusual one-man vignette about calling your father to tell him you were prison bound and excited about it. Listening came with an awkward sensation; that killer musical composition made you want to dance, but the vocals made you feel weird about trying to dance because there was no hook and no descernable meter to it; it was a bit overwhelming, so you probably just stood, appreciating what you were hearing. You still liked the music – may have even liked the fact that it felt a little willfully awkward – but there was no way to dance to it, and no easy way to explain the group's appeal. 01/19/13 >> go there
