★★★ 1/2(out of five)
By Amy Uptmor
The Battalion
The Jesus and Mary Chain
has long been known as a
lovq/hate kind of band. People
who have heard the band either
love it or hate it.
This is understandable. After
all, it’s difficult to have an affec
tion for noise, and The Jesus and
Mary Chain is one of the most
notoriously noisy bands ever.
The band’s characteristic feed
back sound has always been a bit
of an acquired taste.
But with its latest album,
Hate Rock ’N’ Roll, The Jesus
and Mary Chain has made it
self a little easier for the mass
es to like.
Fans of this legendary indus
trial band should not be scared
by such developments. The Jesus
and Mary Chain has sacrificed
nothing on Hate Rock ‘N’ Roll.
Its characteristic sound is
still there, but it has added a
melodic dimension. The band is
letting its creativity dominate
the album this time around.
There are many diverse sounds
on the album.
While sacrificing
some of the edge to its
sound, the band has
sacrificed nope of the
edge in its music and
writing. The album’s ti
tle song is the greatest
insult to corporate rock
in years. Lines like “I
■$■■■■■■ love MTV/ 1 love it
when they’re setting
on me” and “I hate rock and roll/
1 hate it ‘cause it f-ks with my
soul” deserve respect.
Such words come proudly
from a band that has developed a
following — even an ever-corpo-
rate spot on the 1992 Lolla-
palooza bill — despite being con
sistently ignored by such corpo
rate music monsters as MTV.
Just because the Chain is
growing does not mean that it
has lost its touches of brilliance.
Reminiscent of “Head On.”
“Something 1 Can’t Have” is the
brightest, most danceable song
the band has put out in years.
But that classic sound is fol
lowed by “Bleed Me,” a ballad
that resembles REM more than
any Jesus and Mary Chain song
— but not quite as gentle, with
the lyrics, “Take what you need
and leave me to bleed. There’s
diversity for you.
Speaking of diversity, there’s
“Teenage Lust — Desdemona
Mix,” a dance song that has the
feel of a remixed R&B song with a
hard-core edge. This band actual
ly pulls such an unusual mix off
in classic form.
There’s more hate and despair
in this album than just its title.
Most of the songs deal with dark
themes of hopelessness and de
spair.
But The Jesus and Mary
Chain has never been known to
be a band to listen to when
you’re in need of cheering up, so
such themes come as no surprise.
This dark theme is especially
apparent on “33 1/2,” an eerie,
slow song that kicks off with
“Got no direction / No resurrec
tion/ Got no religion/No space
to live in.” Nevertheless,ifsa
great song, and hey, someone
needs to be depressed inthelo
musical absence ofTheCure.
Those who have alwaysli
The Jesus and Mary Chain
should love this album. Ifsa
little different, but equallyas
good or better than any other
album it has had.
And for those who havehearil
The Jesus and Mary Chain
hated its sound, HateRock'H
Roll might actually be the ah
bum that will win them over,
