Now here's an album I put as #2 on my Top 10 of 2007 list.
There's really not much I can add to what's already there, so I'll just copy and paste:
"Their second album, somehow even better than the first. I didn't think it was possible, since their "gimmick" of being a bass & drums playing duo could get old pretty quickly. Big Business solved this by simply putting guitars all over it. Jared Warren's soaring voice and mighty bass grooves mix perfectly with Coady Willis' Keith Moon-esque mayhem from behind the kit (he's easily the best rock drummer since Dave Grohl). Since 2006 Warren & Willis are members of The Melvins, with whom they released last year's brilliant (A) Senile Animal, but Here Come The Waterworks somehow manages to be even more impressive than that one. Essential listening."
Pretty much sums it up. All in all, Big Business is the best thing rock has to offer at the moment. I've been hearing rumours that Mastodon wants Jared to appear on their next album. Oh please please please let that be true. It would be ever so awesome.
All three songs are extremly highly recommended.
