It was ║ │ │║ somewhere around the mid eighties. Ahh the ║ │ │║ eighties, wasteland to some, oasis of musical ║ │ │║ bliss to others. That was a much younger Torgo ║ │ │║ back then let me tell you, and maybe all his ║ │ │║ marbles were not spinning in the same direction, ║ │ │║ but It was not uncommon to catch me buying a K- ║ │ │║ TEL compilation albums with my hard earned ║ │ │║ drachmas. Sure why not? I mean, yeah, most of ║ │ │║ the songs were edited singles that ran around 2 ║ │ │║ minutes each, but it was a CHEAP way to sample a ║ │ │║ vast cornucopia of cranium pounding Rock and ║ │ │║ Roll. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ So anyway, I picked up a K-TEL from K-MART ║ │ │║ called "Masters of Metal". Needless to say, when ║ │ │║ you are young and your biggest goal in life is ║ │ │║ to make your ears bleed profusely, this was a ║ │ │║ title that caught my eye. Many songs I had ║ │ │║ heard, many I had not, many I had heard and ║ │ │║ certainly did not want to hear again! So without ║ │ │║ expecting much, I plopped my 3 penny tone arm ║ │ │║ down into the smooth brand new groove of a song ║ │ │║ called MEANSTREAK by a band with a really stupid ║ │ │║ name, Y&T. Y&T? What kind of a name was that? It ║ │ │║ didn't sound tough. I didn't bring to mind ║ │ │║ visions of a fiery hell full to bursting with ║ │ │║ chittering, scampering demons. Hell, it sounded ║ │ │║ like a vocabulary lesson. Oh I'll probably ║ │ │║ hate....... ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ And then it hit me. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Well to make a long review short, those ║ │ │║ crunching Dave Meniketti guitars and smooth yet ║ │ │║ intense vocals grabbed me right away. A quick ║ │ │║ trip to the music store later, I had, in my ║ │ │║ collection, a vast collection of what was ║ │ │║ referred to at the time, facemelting music. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Well now I'm a little older. I've got a paunch. ║ │ │║ What hair of mine that doesn't decide to commit ║ │ │║ suicide in my comb turns white in fear of the ║ │ │║ future. I've learned to expand my musical taste ║ │ │║ to things a little deeper than crunching guitars ║ │ │║ and blistering leads, yet, not unlike the kid in ║ │ │║ me who still loves the frosted side of things, a ║ │ │║ big part of me still craves the decibels of Y&T. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Y&T's latest album, Musically Incorrect, is a ║ │ │║ MONSTER of an album! It has very similar styles ║ │ │║ to that of their previous fare, TEN, yet it has ║ │ │║ a certain edge that I cannot place. Intact are ║ │ │║ the bone-jarring leads and blistering vocals, ║ │ │║ yet MI seems to be a wee bit more edgy. It seems ║ │ │║ like the boys have said, "lets do what we do ║ │ │║ best... only lets hurt 'em this time". With ║ │ │║ rockin' songs like "Long Way Down", "Quicksand" ║ │ │║ and the sexual innuendo laced "Cold Day in ║ │ │║ Hell", MI seems to be right on the mark. Yet the ║ │ │║ album goes a bit deeper. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Standout songs like "Nowhere Land" mark a new ║ │ │║ sound for Y&T. This Kennemore (Bassist) vocaled ║ │ │║ song sounds not unlike a cool Kings-X tune, as ║ │ │║ Kennemore proves he is a competent vocalist, ║ │ │║ improving vastly over his "Earthshaker" effort, ║ │ │║ "Squeeze". Other unique songs include the ║ │ │║ slightly offbeat "Confusion", with Drummer Jimmy ║ │ │║ DeGrasso proving once again that soul, style and ║ │ │║ sheer backbone intent will not only win over an ║ │ │║ audience, but leave them slack-jawed in wonder. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Yet the big question on my mind, besides "When ║ │ │║ can I listen to this gem again?", would have to ║ │ │║ be, is this the final hurrah for the once ║ │ │║ departed Y&T? Y&T has always been an band ║ │ │║ plagued with popularity problems. Poser bands ║ │ │║ with minimal talent seem to be exploding onto ║ │ │║ the rock scene daily like unsavory things ║ │ │║ floating to the surface of a septic tank, yet ║ │ │║ talented, driven bands are forced under and onto ║ │ │║ lesser known labels, into the cutout bins, and ║ │ │║ out of the limelight. Musically Incorrect has ║ │ │║ the tenacity and, for lack of a better term ║ │ │║ "balls" to rock anyone who can take it 'till ║ │ │║ they are begging uncle for them to stop. It ║ │ │║ would be a shame if the 90's turned it's back on ║ │ │║ them, yet as loud as they are knocking, they ║ │ │║ will be hard to ignore. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Long Live Y&T! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Long Way Down [07:12] │ │ 02 - Fly Away [07:03] │ │ 03 - Quicksand [05:44] │ │ 04 - Cold Day In Hell [05:06] │ │ 05 - I┤ve Got My Own [04:29] │ │ 06 - Nowhere Land [06:36] │ │ 07 - Pretty Prison [06:26] │ │ 08 - Don┤t Know What To Do [04:52] │ │ 09 - 21st Century [05:30] │ │ 10 - I┤m Lost [03:20] │ │ 11 - Confusion [03:10] │ │ 12 - No Regrets [05:29] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [64:57 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
