BLACK PUSSY: a six pack of poppy mixture of hard rock and punk

Black Pussy: On Blonde
http://www.seaoftranquility.org/reviews.php?op=showcontent&id=11927
Upon reading on the slipcase that: "If Hendrix had lived, he probably would have ended up recording Black Pussy's On Blonde", I found this band pretentious and overly self-confident. I mean, Jimi Hendrix, the man recently voted the best guitar player, doing this type of music is more than unlikely. Besides, any band with the pussy in it is not what I would call a very serious act in my book.

Anyways, here on this 31 minutes album, the Black Pussy has written a six pack of poppy mixture of hard rock and punk. If you look at these guys, you know they would come up with something down and dirty. In general, their compositions are made of distorted riffs, clean vocals, moderate tempos, loud basses and repetitiveness. They have thrown in bits and pieces of variation in the shape of electronics, female backing vocals, bike samplings as well as psychedelic tones. I found their best track being on position # 5, "Aint Talkin About Love". Although still repetitive, they have incorporated more sound experimentation in their writing by using keyboards, fuzzy guitar solo and a cool psychedelic edge.
On Blonde is not bad as such, but this is far from being an essential piece for your collection. Something Hendrix would have done... please!!!
