Classic Album Review: Various Artists | You’re Soaking In It

What do all these Load acts have in common? They all sound like they're insane!

This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Damn it! Listen to that racket, will you! It’s those damn punks who started that record company next door! They’re called Load, and man, that oughta tell you something.

What kind of label do they think they’re running? All their acts sound like they came straight from the garage! And they’re all different! The one called Pleasurehorse play industrial noise, another called Dropdead are hardcore punk, some Swedes named Brainbomb sound like The Mentors, and Olneyville sound like the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion! And it seems some of the guys from Six Finger Satellite and Thee Hydrogen Terrors are in half the acts! The only thing they have in common is that they’re all insane! Damn kids!
