Accolades for Universal Freak Out
Universal Freak Out may touch upon the stoner fuzz that defined debut Revenge is Easy and the good time grooves of It's Not the Heat, It's the Humanity, but it also takes the NYC band in new directions. They've always had a knack for quirky, quality songwriting - think Clutch influenced primarily by Deep Purple - but Universal Freak Out highlights the musical dexterity of the band, namely between Josh and Jason Diamond (guitar and bass respectively). The two brothers have a solid connection, playing off of each other, pushing the songs forward. Throw in Jim Starace's unique lyrics and crazed street preacher-style vocals and the solid drumming of John Bongiorno and you've got the makings of a great rock album.
