THE "FAN MAN" ADVISES :
Over the years, "Steamroller," the third album by Youngstown, Ohio's POOBAH has been elevated to "God" status in the rabid underworld of obscure hard rock enthusiasts. At the same time, it has been virtually unknown to the record buying populace at large, who have never explored any further than the classic works of Sabbath, Purple, Scorpions, etc. This is unfortunate, as the STEAMROLLER LP easily stands among those bands' best efforts, and mows the majority of them flat.
If you had walked into a record store in Youngstown in the 70's and seen "Steamroller" on the rack, you would probably have passed, based on the cover. Apparently it did not end up like the band thought it would, and it's easy to see that. Dominating the front of the jacket is a painting of a girl's face. Much smaller photos of Jim Gustafson (guitar / vocals), Phil Jones (bass) & Judd Gaylord (drums) frame this visage, giving it the distinct impression that this might be a female pop diva's LP, with the boys acting as a backing band, hahaha!
What catches the ear, however, is the INSTANT heaviness that emanates from the speakers when the needle hits Side One.
"You Don't Love Me" is the first track, and it thunders-in on prowling guitar riff, overlaid with some excruciating power-guitar leads. One thing that stands out here is something that is a constant on this record: a guitar tone that is just DEATH. The rhythms are low, guttural and leaden and the solos are piercing and raw, so much so that the overall combination may be the heaviest ever carved in vinyl.
"You Don't Love Me" also includes a charging middle section completed by some nice upper range vocals from Jim Gustafson.
Next up is a bit of a surprise, "Rock & Roll." Yes, a remake of the Zeppelin classic, showing you the caliber of POOBAH's ability, and as raw as it is, it's the weakest cut on the album! Still, it is plenty great and contains lead-work and vocals which won't detract from Zeppelin's classic. (sorry, couldn't help the pun!). Following "R & R" is the only instrumental on "Steamroller,"! the oddly-entitled "Integrated Circuit." While "She's That Kind Of Lover," explodes, and if your butt isn't pinned to the wall, begging for mercy at the end of this one, it's probably because you've already been beaten unconscious! Based on a simple-yet-catchy riff, the first part of the song comes off as a cool, heavy-brawler, being played by Black Sabbath. It kicks ass on it's own, but when it's time for the guitar solo, all hell breaks loose --- streaming plumes of molten electric lead explode like fireworks from Gustafson's axe as he pillages through one of the heaviest exercises in 6-string mutilation ever laid down -- you're waiting for the solo to end and let you down, but it just keeps going, building to an amazing crescendo wherein Jim grabs a bottle neck and ventures into what can only be called psychedelic slide from the netherworld, a sort of mutant cross between Duane Allman and Tony Iommi. God!!! Now, Uh-oh! Holy hell, Side Two opens with the riff all of hard rock and heaviness ~~ the mother of all distorted guitar lines and the LP epic "Jump Through The Golden Ring" ...
Side two never lets up! If you're not floored by the LP's driving end,
then you're already dead.
