MAY BLITZ - THE 2ND OF MAY - NEW LP RECORD
Tracklist
For Mad Men Only 4:11 Snakes And Ladders 4:47 The 25th Of December 1969 3:07 "In Part" 6:00 8 Mad Grim Nits 4:20 High Beech 4:56 Honey Coloured Time 4:09 Just Thinking 6:00 Great followup to their debut. They continue on that same bluesy/psychedelic/hard rock/prog thing like they did on their first album, with extended jams. Again, the lineup is the same with vocalist/guitarist James Black, bassist Reid Hudson, and drummer Tony Newman. "Snakes and Ladders" is an incredible piece, starting off sounding a bit like Hendrix, the vocals especially reminding me of Hendrix, then the second half sounding like how Black Sabbath might have sounded like if they went psychedelic. I love the bizarre electronic effects added on. "The 25th of December, 1969" is a more light-hearted number with a nice jazzy passage. "In Part" is the album's only real weak spot. Although it starts off actually quite nice, getting in to a nice groove, and even featuring flute, which is the only time you ever hear one on a May Blitz album, the second half of the cut is wasted on a drum solo. "8 Mad Grim Nits" is the band's only instrumental piece, and it really shows off James Black's guitar talent, so unsurprisingly it's his turn to shine here. "High Beech" is a nice psychedelic piece complete with reverbed guitar and some hippie-oriented lyrics. "Just Thinking" starts off really mellow, but I like the way it ends in this wonderful psychedelic climax, with some more hippie-type lyrics. Unlike their first album they don't write songs about getting stoned ("Smoking the Day Away") or going back to the country ("I Don't Know"). But they still recorded a wonderful followup to their self-entitled debut. But of course this would be their final album. The two Canadian guys (James Black, Reid Hudson) would return to British Columbia (apparently to disappear from the music scene), and Tony Newman would find himself with other acts like Three Man Army.
