THE FOUR POSTMEN
Looking For Grandpa (Evil Troll)
Reviewed by John Sekerka
Thought I'd never hear another cow-bell. Aaah, that's nice. Anyone tired of
the edgy nineties and wishing to revisit those heady days of rock'n'roll
past when music could be both impressive and down right silly (ask Grandpa
about The Bonzo Dog Band), will embrace the nutty nutty sound that's going
around. Endless puns, jabs and jokes sure to make any gathering groan, is
what's on the menu here folks. The ultra slick music chops of these fab four
letter carriers are nothing to sneeze at either. Check out the bombastic
drum solo (a staple in my day) on the fitting finale "Lost Vegas", which
deteriorates into a stereo snoring session set to ringing cash registers (an
ode to Pink Floyd methinks) before ending with a drunken campfire sing-
along. This brings a whole new meaning to "going postal".
