Torrent Description
Again working with Alan Moulder but now also using a live drummer on most tracks -- namely Monti from Curve, one of the Mary Chain\'s many descendants -- the Reids came back strong with Honey\'s Dead, on balance a more consistent and satisfying record than Automatic. There\'s a sense of greater creativity with the arrangements, while the balance between blasting static rampage and precise, almost clinical delivery is the finest yet, making the album as a whole the best straight-through listen since Psychocandy. Monti\'s drumming finally replaces Bobby Gillespie\'s properly; he\'s a much more talented musician than the Primal Scream overlord, using the warped funk hits familiar from Curve\'s work to the Mary Chain\'s advantage. Even the drum machine-driven cuts work better than before, especially the brilliant, coruscating opener, \"Reverence.\" Burning with some of the best nails-on-chalkboard feedback the band had yet recorded, combined with a whipsmart sharp breakbeat, all it took was the finishing touch of Jim Reid\'s sneering lines like \"I wanna die like Jesus Christ\" to make it another stone-cold classic single from the band. Other winners include \"Sugar Ray,\" with beats and melody so immediate and addictive the track was actually used for a beer commercial, of all things, and the steady slap and crunch of \"Good for My Soul.\" If there\'s a danger in Honey\'s Dead, it\'s that the near bottomless pit of reworked melodies and lyrics had almost reached its end -- even the final track, \"Frequency,\" combines both \"Reverence\" itself with the Modern Lovers\' \"Roadrunner\" -- which made the stylistic shift on Stoned & Dethroned a logical follow-up. William and Jim Reid split all the vocals almost evenly, the former especially shining on the nearly gentle \"Almost Gold,\" the closest the record comes to a sweet ballad. -AMG
