Reviews Customer Reviews for Rubberneck Possum Kingdom and other Hard Dark Music Rating: 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.
Customer Reviews for Rubberneck Cd The Toadies are BACK!!!!!!!!!! Rating: This album has been one of my favorites for well over a decade now and sadly their follow-up album did not get the response it should have. Toadies are unique and bone crushing. I got to see them in St Louis last week and they were simply fantastic. One of the best live performances I have seen to date, and I have seen many (including Metallica/STP/G'nR). They were so gracious to stay afterward and autograph shirts. Vaden Todd Lewis shook my hand!
The new album is coming out and I had the pleasure to hear some new songs from it...you must buy the new album. The new album is true Toadies returning to their roots. This is a band that never should have disappeared...now we have the chance to grab them and never let them go.
