It's one of the most tired phrases in
pop
music and you hear it all the time; they just don't write 'em like that anymore. Or in other words, the bands of today can't hold a candle to (fill in favorite old band here). These lousy excuses for being a musical ostrich are both counter-productive lies, and it is always a pleasure to hear a band or artist who blows them up. Milwaukee's
the Modern Machines
are one of these bands, and
Take It, Somebody
is a great little
rock & roll
record that captures the sound, feel, and attitude of the mid-'80s Minnesota scene. Bands like
the Replacements
,
Hüsker Dü
, and
Soul Asylum
are their role models, and
the Modern Machines
do a near-perfect job of being inspired and not being copycats. The album is jammed up with hooky, memorable, tough as leather rockers and beer-soaked
ballads
.
Nato Paisano
has an excellent
rock & roll
voice, gruff and tumble on the uptempo tracks and raggedly sensitive on the
ballads
. The group isn't going to dazzle you with proficiency, but they make an impressive racket that careens and rumbles like their heroes. Indeed, if this album had come out in 1986 instead of 2006, there might be bands looking to
Take It, Somebody
as a touchstone as they do
Let It Be
or
New Day Rising
. Well, it isn't quite that good, but you get the idea. They do write and play them like they used to, you just have to know where to look. Now you do! ~ Tim Sendra, All Music Guide
