★~THE MC-5~★
Loaded to the hilt with powerful rock'n'roll numbers, infectious jams that GROW with repeat listens ... tough rough body soul moving infectious rock roll.
The recurring theme which drives Back in the USA is adolescence, its reminiscences alternately fond and embittered — while killer power-rock'n'roll cuts like "Tonight," "Teenage Lust," "High School," and "Shakin' Street" celebrate youth in all its rebellious glory, others like the kick-ass "The American Ruse" and the buzz-sawing "Human Being Lawnmower" condemn a system which eats its young, filling their heads with lies before sending them off to war. LP High-point is "Looking At You", an unsurpassed monster of total-assault intensity! Equally gripping is the record's singular sound — with an almost complete disregard for the bottom end, Back in the USA captures a live-wire intensity 180 degrees removed from the group's live sound yet perfectly suited to the material at hand, resulting in music which not only salutes the power of rock roll but also reaffirms it. Producer Jon Landau's distaste for the rough psychedelic rock movement aimed his central focus of the album was to try and get the band away from the raw, thrashy sound pioneered and captured on their first release Kick Out the Jams. This was an impossible task due to the 5's explosive intensity, but they were refined due to studio mixing board fiddling. It was unfortunate that Atlantic Records hired a goofball pseudo producer, [but] overall it was impossible to top the in-concert exuberance of their debut, Kick Out the Jams ... so the MC5 re-emerged with their first studio record with the music is still being very comparable to other Detroit kick-ass rockers of the same era (the Stooges, Alice Cooper, etc.)
As with the aforementioned peers, raw garage rock serves as the main ingredient for most of Back in the USA. Producer Jon Landau may have lessened the volatility of the MC5 as compared to JAMS, but the band was equipped with another great set of songs. Two covers bookend Back in the USA - an uptempo reading of Little Richard's rock roll standard "Tutti Frutti" kicks things off in fine fashion, while the album-closing title track was originally done by Chuck Berry. The original material ranges from the total assault of "The Human Being Lawnmower" to the heartfelt soul ballad "Let Me Try," a surprise highlight.
Nervy, high-octane rockers bristling with pure adolescent energy-"Teenage Lust" and "Call Me Animal," among them-balance politically charged tracks like "The American Ruse." Back in the USA may have been the MC5's most conventional album, but it is still an endlessly listenable rock roll classic.
Hard as nails Detroit anarchist jammers,
and the result is one of the great rock 'n' roll albums of all time!
