The Grifters
Full Blown Possession
[Sub Pop]
Rating: 8.4
Hey, the Grifters. Who remembers these guys? Good. You should
remember 'em. Their last record, Ain't My Lookout was at
least in Sub Pop's Top Five best records released just two years ago.
And before that, we were listening to the very excellent, Crappin'
You Negative. So my question is, how the hell can you go wrong
with a band like this? Of course, you can't.
And here's good news: these guys haven't changed a bit.
Full Blown Possession is filled with the same steady rockpower
that's fueled their last couple of records. And you'll be bobbing
your head to the sounds of "Re-Entry Blues," a (you guessed it) blues
tune about the trials and tribulations of touring, and "Spaced Out,"
a slow-paced rock anthem. In fact, you might even be waving your
indie rock zippo.
Full Blown Possession has made a fine addition to my CD collection
and it's gonna look good in yours, too. I guaran-damn-tee it.
