Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of The Brian Jonestown Massacre on ‘Vacuum Boots’. ‘Take It from the Man!’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Lead single “Vacuum Boots” and “Who?” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. I Love Take It from the Man! from start to finish!
Who? - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. Oh Lord is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Vocals of The Brian Jonestown Massacre in (David Bowie I Love You) Since I Was Six really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. I now have Straight Up And Down as one of my personal favorites. Monster is just simply stunning. Take It From The Man is the albums biggest surprise. B.S.A. is a marvelous, simple song by The Brian Jonestown Massacre at the top of his game. As always, The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. Monkey Puzzle as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Fucker (2:12) a good melody. Dawn is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. Some call Cabin Fever from Take It from the Man! as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. In My Life is a astounding song and it grows on you. Take It from the Man! couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track The Be Song. I find myself hearing bits of My Man Syd here and there throughout my waking hours. Straight Up And Down is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day.
