Looking at the cover, I thought I was going to be in for some folksy indiepop. Rather than strumming a banjo though, Holland’s The Mad Trist come out rocking with their cocks out on the opening trio of “Juvenile”, “Alibi” and the title track. Sure, it sounds a lot like Queens Of The Stone Age. But seriously, is that a bad thing? It’s all kind of seedy, sexy and swinging… I’m all for it.
“Pay The Piper” did not become a flawless album thanks to songs like “Like A Perfume” which sounds a bit too sugary and the 8-minutes long closer that drags on forever, but it does show plenty of promise. A name to keep an eye out for!
Score: 6.5 out of 10
