Not the convoy of survivalist glam necessary to lure back the public the band
annoyed after the disgruntled and over-hyped Leisure Noise, Gay Dad's
sophomore LP goes for a lo-fi yet more sonically complex approach and hits
another brick wall of Queen-tailored rhetoric and pyrotechnic rock anthems.
During the two-year wait between albums, Gay Dad had pared itself down to a
three-piece, and the result is a positive, more direct, and raging jangle of
'70s-fixated British pop. It works well in the Axl Rose-fronts-Super Furry
Animals "Harder Faster" or in the bare and tender thud of "Breathe." So well
in fact that you almost forget Gay Dad's unpersuasive threads of extremist
pop-metal ("Dinosaur") that populate the rest of the album. Transmission,
while marginally stronger than the band's debut, forgets to bring along the
same natural pop drive and offers more of the same well-honed faux iconic
babble, and regularly stoops to the equivalent of a Love record with improper
squelch control.
