Description
And the award for the best use of a Jedi master on a metal album goes to... Puny Human, who begin Revenge Is Easy (Small Stone) with an edited snippet wherein Yoda reminds us, 'You must feel the Force around you...here, between you...me...the tree...the rock.' It's all, of course, about the rock - in this case, guttural throb and boogie in the storied tradition of Sabbath, Cactus, Scissorfight, B.O.C.,, Clearlight, Blue Cheer, and Alabama Thunderpussy, with enough subterranean snarl and swagger that they haven't had much problem covering Aerosmith or Skynyrd when the mood hits 'em. Their own songs ain't bad neither, 'specially the grindhouse muscle-car shitstorm 'Jesus Has My Leg' ('Satan's got my hand/Vaders in my head/ Leia's not my friend'), 'Goddess Of The Metal' (something about strippers and the apocalypse' downright Danzig-ian), and yet 'nother hyperdrive Star Wars nod, 'Jimbo The Hutt.' And 'Stink Of Two Men' has the strength of at least three. Drummer Ian Robinson has a cool day job as MTV News' 'metal correspondent'; The Puny ones have played up here almost often enough to qualify as honorary Rock City inductees, and they've got the Ironlung beards to prove it.
