Drive Like Jehu - yank crime LP/CD

  • (LP) headhunter / cargo records. hed-037 / 9 tracks / 1994
  • (CD) interscope. / 1994
  • RI (CD): swami records. / 12 tracks / 2002
  • Headhunter LP has a bonus 7”. Limited Headhunter version on blue (LP) and red (7”) vinyl. Swami reissue adds three songs; the two 7” tracks and an alternate version of Sinews. John Reis and Rick Froberg later formed the Hot Snakes.
  • Second LP; while this is essentially in the same style as the first album, everything sounds a bit more accomplished, original, sophisticated. The similarities to RFTC are still there, but DLJ seem way more confident in their own sound now, which helps this LP a lot to stand on its own feet. Interesting soft/hard dynamics, which moves this a bit further into the direction of Gravity-style emo core. Good LP. [8]
  • Ihre zweite LP klingt ähnlich wie die erste, nur wirkt alles etwas ausgefeilter, professioneller und flüssiger. Ähnlchkeiten zu Rocket from the Crypt sind immer noch vorhanden, aber nicht mehr so deutlich ausgeprägt. Statt dessen geht die Band ein wenig mehr in die Richtung von Emocore im Stil einiger Gravity-Bands. Gut.
  • Tracks: //(LP) //here come the rome plows / do you compute / luau // super unison / golden brown / sinews /// //(7”)// human interest / new intro // new math
