Description
We like what Trouble have done with this album, "Plastic Green Head". The music sounds fairly dissimilar to the completely doom-laden, crushing riffs present
on the earlier material, but what Trouble do here sounds every bit authentic. Not to mislead you, this definitely still sounds like Trouble, but they seem to have
adopted a more laidback, stoner metal approach; sacrificing sinister atmospheres for more upbeat ones.
The first few tracks are completely awesome offerings of vintage Trouble. The playful, thrashy riff of the title track, which opens the album, is a great introduction
to the music at hand and Eric Wagner's distinctive vocals sound powerful overtop. "Plastic Green Head," "The Eye," "Flowers," these are all what you
would expect from Trouble, huge churning riffs, 80 bpm drumbeats, Eric Wagners nasal yet powerful voice. They are simple, they are catchy, and they are
just plain good.
"The Porpoise Song" is a cover of a song by The Monkees, and strangely enough it's very good. Big wall of guitar noise, and Eric singing
in a less nasal and more melodic voice. "Opium Eater" sounds like it could easily be an Alice in Chains song.
On this album there is silly plenty of Sabbath worship, but also more of an upbeat, hard rock feel. We would even say that a little grunge has crept into their
sound (to be fair, it's probably the other way around, Trouble influence crept into grunge.)
If you're looking for a nice dose of stoner metal, you'll find just
that right here. There's plenty of memorable riffs which provide good replay value, and although you won't find as much doom as you might expect from
Trouble, it's still there if you look for it.
