Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2005-09-06
Re-release of defunct Ohio band 1993-97 that is altogether stoney, heavy, grungey, swirling and irreverent and at times sounds exactly like Dinosaur Jr. melded seamlessly with Bleach era Nirvana. Just a real good use of Marshalls, Ampegs,, and Ludwigs. Vocals low in the mix, this has little to do with lyricism or ego, just all about the rock.

1) upbeat driving, slight grunge overtone to this heavy rocker
2) stoney garagey feel, sassy duel vocs
3) bassy driving rocker, vocs come in midway, late
4) heavy ass shit, chuggin rocker
5) heavy fast does a shift into stoniness w/ vocs
6) slight swagger, slower and excellent use of reverb and doubled voc tracks, trippy
7) doomy heavy w/ screamy possessed vocs
8) poppier, more Dinosaur but doomy
9) 5 seconds death riff
10) swaggering dooming heavy w/ a melody, vocs come in late
11) long track (13 minutes) followed by 10 minutes of silence then a near medly of “hidden tracks”: driving upbeat yet heavy and dark, turns into a hell noise jam fest, long ass ritardando leading into secondary doom rocker
