The Toadies were a band just too good for their time. When no talent bands like Local H were canabalizing the last of what Nirvana began on Nevermind, the Toadies were making riff based southern rock.
And talk about southern: Rubberneck is completely and creepily so. The album is filled with referances to virgin brides, incest, strange religous rituals, snakes, swamps-- all the weird backwoods culture that scares New Englanders when they stereotype the south. If you have seen the film Deliverance and absorb the wierdness of the rednecks, the viceral repulsion it produces is what the Toadies exude, and I am not sure they are kidding. Is daddy gonna give you a whoppin? You bet he is. Bring the belt to the woodshed.
What a striking ability this band has to invoke mileu.
All this would mean little without the music. These guys are tight, tight, and tight. Usualy, hard rock on CDs sounds wartered down, the highs to crisp and the lows too vibrating. But the Toadies are so looked together, their riffs so hooky, the passages hammer out of the speekers. Frankly, I have not heard a rhythm section lock together like this other than Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchel; beleive me, I have heard a lot of rhythm sections
Get this. |

| I bought this for my 17 y.o. son. I have listened to it and it's pretty good. I especially like the song Possum Kingdom. |

Possum Kingdom and other Hard Dark Music
Submitted on: 2008-09-19 |

This is one of my favorite Albums of the 90's. This is one of the few albums that I've introduced to friends and have sold them on. Initially hooked with Possum Kingdom I bought the CD and immediately the rest of the album grew on me. Outside of Possum Kingdom the rest of the album remains largely obscure.
I find the album a bit harder edged than the grunge scene it surfaced in. It's loud and front man Todd Lewis' screeching leaves few songs unblasted. It can be a deal breaker for some. I loved it. If you really like "Possum Kingdom" then it's likely you'll be "all in" too. Of course a taste for a Harder edge grunge era rock will help.
The album itself has dark overtones and themes. Favorite songs of mine are "I Come from the Water", "Away", and of course "Possum Kingdom". A particular favorite of mine is the albums closing song, "I Burn". A haunting and momentum building song about the religious and almost sexually charged allure of fire to a pyromaniac. It builds to a great crescendo for both the song and the album. |
