│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As I gazed upon the cover of a CD that I thought ║ │
│║ I would never, ever see, it got me thinking back ║ │
│║ to the first time I ever heard Y&T. It was ║ │
│║ somewhere around the mid eighties. Ahh the ║ │
│║ eighties, wasteland to some, oasis of musical ║ │
│║ bliss to others. That was a much younger Torgo ║ │
│║ back then let me tell you, and maybe all his ║ │
│║ marbles were not spinning in the same direction, ║ │
│║ but It was not uncommon to catch me buying a K- ║ │
│║ TEL compilation albums with my hard earned ║ │
│║ drachmas. Sure why not? I mean, yeah, most of ║ │
│║ the songs were edited singles that ran around 2 ║ │
│║ minutes each, but it was a CHEAP way to sample a ║ │
│║ vast cornucopia of cranium pounding Rock and ║ │
│║ Roll. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ So anyway, I picked up a K-TEL from K-MART ║ │
│║ called "Masters of Metal". Needless to say, when ║ │
│║ you are young and your biggest goal in life is ║ │
│║ to make your ears bleed profusely, this was a ║ │
│║ title that caught my eye. Many songs I had ║ │
│║ heard, many I had not, many I had heard and ║ │
│║ certainly did not want to hear again! So without ║ │
│║ expecting much, I plopped my 3 penny tone arm ║ │
│║ down into the smooth brand new groove of a song ║ │
│║ called MEANSTREAK by a band with a really stupid ║ │
│║ name, Y&T. Y&T? What kind of a name was that? It ║ │
│║ didn't sound tough. I didn't bring to mind ║ │
│║ visions of a fiery hell full to bursting with ║ │
│║ chittering, scampering demons. Hell, it sounded ║ │
│║ like a vocabulary lesson. Oh I'll probably ║ │
│║ hate....... ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ And then it hit me. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Well to make a long review short, those ║ │
│║ crunching Dave Meniketti guitars and smooth yet ║ │
│║ intense vocals grabbed me right away. A quick ║ │
│║ trip to the music store later, I had, in my ║ │
│║ collection, a vast collection of what was ║ │
│║ referred to at the time, facemelting music. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Well now I'm a little older. I've got a paunch. ║ │
│║ What hair of mine that doesn't decide to commit ║ │
│║ suicide in my comb turns white in fear of the ║ │
│║ future. I've learned to expand my musical taste ║ │
│║ to things a little deeper than crunching guitars ║ │
│║ and blistering leads, yet, not unlike the kid in ║ │
│║ me who still loves the frosted side of things, a ║ │
│║ big part of me still craves the decibels of Y&T. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Y&T's latest album, Musically Incorrect, is a ║ │
│║ MONSTER of an album! It has very similar styles ║ │
│║ to that of their previous fare, TEN, yet it has ║ │
│║ a certain edge that I cannot place. Intact are ║ │
│║ the bone-jarring leads and blistering vocals, ║ │
│║ yet MI seems to be a wee bit more edgy. It seems ║ │
│║ like the boys have said, "lets do what we do ║ │
│║ best... only lets hurt 'em this time". With ║ │
│║ rockin' songs like "Long Way Down", "Quicksand" ║ │
│║ and the sexual innuendo laced "Cold Day in ║ │
│║ Hell", MI seems to be right on the mark. Yet the ║ │
│║ album goes a bit deeper. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Standout songs like "Nowhere Land" mark a new ║ │
│║ sound for Y&T. This Kennemore (Bassist) vocaled ║ │
│║ song sounds not unlike a cool Kings-X tune, as ║ │
│║ Kennemore proves he is a competent vocalist, ║ │
│║ improving vastly over his "Earthshaker" effort, ║ │
│║ "Squeeze". Other unique songs include the ║ │
│║ slightly offbeat "Confusion", with Drummer Jimmy ║ │
│║ DeGrasso proving once again that soul, style and ║ │
│║ sheer backbone intent will not only win over an ║ │
│║ audience, but leave them slack-jawed in wonder. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Yet the big question on my mind, besides "When ║ │
│║ can I listen to this gem again?", would have to ║ │
│║ be, is this the final hurrah for the once ║ │
│║ departed Y&T? Y&T has always been an band ║ │
│║ plagued with popularity problems. Poser bands ║ │
│║ with minimal talent seem to be exploding onto ║ │
│║ the rock scene daily like unsavory things ║ │
│║ floating to the surface of a septic tank, yet ║ │
│║ talented, driven bands are forced under and onto ║ │
│║ lesser known labels, into the cutout bins, and ║ │
│║ out of the limelight. Musically Incorrect has ║ │
│║ the tenacity and, for lack of a better term ║ │
│║ "balls" to rock anyone who can take it 'till ║ │
│║ they are begging uncle for them to stop. It ║ │
│║ would be a shame if the 90's turned it's back on ║ │
│║ them, yet as loud as they are knocking, they ║ │
│║ will be hard to ignore. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Long Live Y&T! ║ │
