The Wonsers
“Yon Never Knew Me When I Was
Young”
Get a Wick Records
Grade: B+
The best way to describe this band
is they contain a mix of Matthew
Sweet, Kind, early R.E.M. and the
sound Blue Moon Ghetto wishes they
could play.
The Wonsers, a band from Minne
apolis, is made up of three brothers—
John, Matt and Peter Van Dyke. The
act is known far performing in major
college towns nationwide and has been
used as Matt Wilson’s backup band. «
“You Never Knew Me When I Was
Young” is the follow up to the band’s
first album, which is self-titled. The
main difference between the two al
bums is that “You” contains a broader
spectrum of songs than its predeces
sor. “The Wonsers” has slower songs,
while “You” displays a harder edge to
John Van Dyke’s guitar playing with
such songs as “Skyline Bridge” and
“Mess.”
“You” flows like it belongs on
RJE.M.’s fourth album, “Life’s Rich
Pageant.” The first song, “Skyline
Bridge,” is reminiscent of R-E.M.’s
“What If We Give It Away,” and the
rest of the album has a very Peter Buck
esque guitar sound, a statement that
shouldn’-t take anything away from The
Wonsers.
Probably the best song on the al
bum would have to be “Mess.” John
Van Dyke shows that he is an incred
ible lyricist, and Matt Van Dyke ex
hibits tremendous talent as a bassist.
“Montana” is also a great song, with
John Van Dyke stealing the show.
However, with a running time of less
than three minutes, the song is defi
nitely too short.
(illy a few things are not superb
about this album. First of all, these guys
took twoyears between albums and all
they came out with was a five-song, 16
minute EP. Also, the last song, “No
body,” seems to drag on, even though
it’s just 3 1/2 minutes long.
Nevertheless, the blend of styles
makes “You Never Knew Me When I
Was Young” a winner. The Wonsers
can become as big as they want to, if
they continue touring hard and start
coming out with some longer albums.
—Patrick Miner
The Posies
“Amazing Disgrace”
Geffen Records
Grade: C+
The Posies first album didn’t do
anything at all. It was nondescript and
bland. Their, second, “Dear 23,”
showed the beginnings of a wealth of
talent, but no real follow-through. Then
came “Frosting On The Beater.”
Their last album, “Frosting On The
Beater,” was chock-full of powerful
melodies, catchy tunes, well-formed
lyrics and great songs, including the
hard-to-forget “Dream All Day ”
Well, that was three years ago, and
The Posies almost vanished from sight,
touring everywhere they could find a
place to play. Now, they have a new
album, “Amazing Disgrace,” and while
it’s no “Frosting On The Beater,” it’s
no bottom of the barrel, either.
“Amazing Disgrace” lacks the
sticking power of their last album —
the songs don’t stick in the head for
weeks after putting the album away.
“Ontario” clings desperately to a
listener’s ears, but it eventually fades,
unlike “Dream All Day.” It doesn’t
grate the ears, though, which is what a
lot of their self-titled debut album did.
“Daily Mutilation” is a good song
about the pains that we go through each
day, but after about seven or eight lis
tens, it warrants putting away for a
while.
Many of the songs on this album
just can’t jump off the disc and snag
the ears. It’s nondescript. From “Bro
ken Record” to “Fight It (If You
Want),” the album remains a little bit
too flat to be an essential buy.
Still, Hie Posies have always been
a band whose strength lies in live per
formances, and when looked at in that
context, the album takes on a whole
new light.
Most of “Amazing Disgrace” is full
of places for loud jam fests and blar
ing guitar solos to be inserted gleefully.
This is material that was meant to be
live, not recorded.
If “Amazing Disgrace” had all been
recorded live in concerts, all of the
energy that is Hie Posies’ trademark
would’ve been present. Instead, it just
doesn’t plug in to the listeners.

hot shower — the end is difficult to
bear.
“The Awakening” is a fantastic jazz
song, where Les uses bass harmonics
(not actually holding a string down, but
just sort of putting your finger on it, to
get a very high pitched note) to come
up with a bedazzling blast of smooth
grooves.
The other really good standout
track is “Precipitation,” which has Les
and Adam Gates chanting “rain, rain,
rain” in the background, while Les
sings vocals over it to a melody that
sort of weaves and jives around the lis
teners without actually clubbing them
over the head.
Les is on tour with The Holy Mack
erel (Jay Lane on drums and Mark
“Mirv” Haggard on guitar) and if you
get the chance to see them, do. But
don’t worry, it’s a side project. Primus
is still well and kicking. And as Les
himself will tell you, “Primus sucks.”
—Cliff Hicks

Les Claypool and The Holy Mack
erel
“Highball With the Devil”
Interscope Records/Prawn Songs
Grade: A
Les Claypool is the Jimi Hendrix
of bass.
Whether or not you like Primus, or
even this side project, the fact is irre
futable. Les does things with a bass that
man just was not meant to do.
He’s a genius, honestly. Les
breathes life into the bass and brings it
into the spotlight, something that is al
most unheard of in rock bands. He’s
practically reinventing the instrument,
within those confines.
“Highball With The Devil” shows
much more of a jazz influence than the
tripped out funk-rock that Primus pro
duces. The album even contains a
cover of a Redding song, “The Awak
ening.”
“Delicate Tendrils” is basically Les
playing over Henry Rollins reading a
section from his upcoming book. It
comes across as part urban backbeat,
part beatnik flashback, part psycho
pathic nightmare.
“Holy Mackerel” is pure funk,
though. The song bobs and weaves,
with Les’s classic over-twanged voice
drawing out syllables, like “mack-er
EL” instead of “mackerel.”
The title track, “Highball With The
Devil,” lets Les meander around with
the bass, keeping the listener’s atten
tion without really any rush. It’s like a
