Clutch: Neil Fallon (vocals), Tim Sult (guitar), Dan Maines (bass), Jean Paul Gaster (drums). Recorded at Uncle Punchy's Studio, Silver Spring, Maryland from December 1994 to January 1995. All songs written by Clutch. Moving the guitars forward in the mix paid off in spades for Clutch, who continued with their familiar formula of mixing Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath on their sophomore album. Without straying at all from its roots, the band adds a little more funk to its sound ? la Primus, which makes for a more consistent set of songs than last time. Not to mention that the stars shine brighter than they did last time around: "Spacegrass" alone should have become an instant classic, but following minor rotation on hard rock stations, the song -- and the band with it -- was delegated a cult status, compared to the likes of contemporaries Coal Chamber and Korn. ~ Jeremy Ulrey
