Release Notes:

The myth that Johnny Marr has underachieved since storming out of The
Smiths can mostly be attributed to one thing: that despite a glowing CV
running from Talking Heads to Modest Mouse, the indie eraÆs most
celebrated guitarist hasnÆt really produced much in the way of
balls-out guitar music since 1986Æs The Queen Is Dead.

His motivation behind joining Yorkshire indie punk siblings The Cribs
becomes clear about a nanosecond into their fourth album, Ignore the
Ignorant. This would be that balls-out guitar record. Stomping in on an
imperious riff, the opening We Were Aborted might as well have simply
been entitled HereÆs Johnny. A gleaming chrome strut, itÆs all forward
momentum and dynamic fills, a souped-up soapbox from which Ryan Jarman
can bark stridently. Though important not to suppose Marr is
responsible for the entirety of the music, a gambling man wouldnÆt
hesitate wagering on the origins of the snaking melodic twists that
usher in the likes Cheat on Me and We Share the Same Skies. HeÆd pretty
much bet the farm when it came to the Panic-alike title track.

Of course, so far weÆre talking as if this is a good thing. In fact,
doubling the guitars and bringing in a slickly accomplished player
isnÆt necessarily the logical prescription for a band whose best
moments to date have been based on ribcage-rattling rawness and Ryan
and twin GaryÆs righteous vocal bile. It still takes a bit of venom
from them to get the poppier songs going, and frequently Ignore the
Ignorant lacks fire in the belly, in danger of sounding like an
accomplished, æmatureÆ guitar record.

Fortunately itÆs not just an album of pop songs. The Sonic Youth sprawl
of Bug City is magnificent, an eerie stumble fitfully illuminated by
glowing hails of meteoric feedback, while Stick to Yr GunsÆ erratic
ascent from down at heel plucking to symphonic crescendo is pure
exhilaration.

All punks have to grow up someday if they donÆt want to look
embarrassing; the Jarmans could have found a much worse guide than
rockinÆ uncle Johnny to lead them to adulthood.
