Such a combination is far from a foolproof recipe for rock \u0026amp; roll nirvana. Royal Trux guitarist Neil Hagerty has had more than his fair share of experimental off-days, while, arguably, ex-Make-Up frontman Ian Svenonius's gospel shtick is increasingly more about reliving past glories than taking the form anywhere new. Thankfully, here, on their debut album, it all comes together.\nThe opening \"Baby It's The Best\" is a fantastic burst of greasy, sleazy rock \u0026amp; roll that could have strutted onto the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street and been one of the highlights. Throughout, Hagerty's guitar playing is still gleefully unregimented. It flows from his amp in glorious waves of sound that encompass everything from good-time boogie rock \u0026amp; roll to shrieking improv experiments, poured through a floorful of effects pedals. Meanwhile, the lusty \"Who's Who\" breaks the question of sexual orientation down into a sweet hipster yowl: \"If you're in the navy\/ Or if you're making babies\/ You gotta know who's who.\" Against all odds, Weird War scores a coherent victory. --Louis Pattison\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 781484020523\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0781484020523\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 08671233\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136895140099,"sku":"Z5-H4ZE-OJ22","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/61mh1-iLM4L.jpg?v=1756345465","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/weird-war","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
