"Mid-Year Report – Albums
#25. Woozy Viper – s/t (self-released)
I’m tempted to say that the songs are deceptively simple. But that’s
not right. These are simple songs. But what was ever wrong with simple?
The Ramones were simple. The Dead Milkmen were simple. Most of the best
of Loud Reed was simple. Simple never steered anyone wrong. Simple is
refreshing these days. Check out “Rent,” a cow-bell driven jam about,
um, how much it sucks to pay rent. Then there’s “King Kong,” an ode of
sorts to, um, King Kong. Sample lyric: “He tried to steal the girl even
though he couldn’t fit it in the girl.” And guess what “Love Scented
Candles” is about. This album is so free of bullshit that it completely
disarms you."
