Bricks Are Heavy, 1992
Written by Donita Sparks
This is the leading track off an album that is touted as one of the best "grunge" albums of all time, but I think it got that label simply be virtue of the era in which it was released. This is white-hot punk rock, with clear vocals, machine-gun guitar, and breakneck tempo. This is no mumbling, disaffected Nirvana, or a loutish, stumbling Soundgarden. It's all snarling contempt and biting, even shocking lyrics: "Wargasm, wargasm, one two three / Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the amputee / Masturbate, watch it on TV." Just like the Johnny Rotten of old, L7 are going to do their thing, state their case, and don't care if you don't like them.
