Thank God for Mental Illness isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. When you buy a The Brian Jonestown Massacre album, you know exactly what you’re getting! Lead single “Spanish Bee” and “IT Girl” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. The Brian Jonestown Massacre “Thank God for Mental Illness” is an amazing album.
The first time I listened to IT Girl I was struck by its amazing sound. 13 is one of these floating songs. Ballad Of Jim Jones is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. I think Those Memories is the best song The Brian Jonestown Massacre has ever done. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Stars, which shows, blatantly, how much The Brian Jonestown Massacre has evolved as a singer. Free And Easy, Take 2 - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Down marked the continuation of The Brian Jonestown Massacre in style evolution. Cause I Love Her is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Too Crazy To Care is a bit of a show-tune. Talk - Action = Shit is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is True Love. A unique and uplifting song.
