What a difficult record to describe. First however, Throbbing Gristle themselves should be reviewed. For a band with such a cool description and background (and even a pretty good name, which I suppose doesn't mean much), they fail to deliver on almost all levels. Their music is among the most cheesy, pretentious, boring, and painful music that I have ever heard. Upon reading about them and their crazed antics, you expect music to match. This is not so. However, of all of their bad albums, this is the best. The worst part about it is, it is quite good in parts. The song "We Hate You (Little Girls)" is the kind of stuff the band should have been doing all along. But also on this record is among the most cheesy and bad Throbbing Gristle recording I have heard yet, "AB/7A". The album is pretty split as far as quality and garbage go. Click the album cover above, if you're willing to take a try.
This will be upped later today.

ReplyDeleteHey, great blog! Are you planning on continuing?
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed we shall. Everyone involved is quite busy and its slowed down but we hope to be up and running soon!
ReplyDeleteHey, the name's a reference to boners, and with boner-inducing tunes like these, who could call it garbage? Though I have found some great smut in the garbage... this blog's a keeper.
ReplyDeletePlease upload...!!!! please...!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly, Throbbing Gristle is Yorkshire slang for "erect penis". Five Knuckle Shuffle, is also Yorkshire slang, this time referring to male masturbation.
ReplyDeleteGood blog, by the way. Keep going.
I miss the updates! When are you gonna go back to tunneling through the NWW list?
