A high watermark of early alternative metal, Troublegum is a spectacular,
powerful, clutter-free record. Densely packed at 14 songs in 40 minutes, theres
sharpness on every level, demonstrating that the promise evidenced on Nurse was
no mirage. Chris Sheldons job on the boards provides separation among all the
instruments, avoiding the mashed effect from Therapy?s previous outings. Fyfe
Ewing and Michael McKeegan basically do what theyve been doing all along as a
rhythm section, but the increased clarity really allows for one to fully
appreciate their abilities. Andy Cairns vocal range and ear for melody increase
tenfold, and his guitar takes on countless tones and textures only hinted at
before. Detractors might claim that the riffs are too predictable and too metal,
which is somewhat understandable but ultimately unfair. One could call them
simple, and one could call them focused; its more the latter. Since the
songwriting is more direct and less concerned with merely knocking things out
and stopping after three minutes or so, everything is fully formed and
completely realized. Its the absolute opposite of aimless, which is something
Therapy? was sometimes guilty of. Theres much more variety, too. With each play,
it becomes increasingly obvious that no two songs sound much like each other,
yet each song hangs together to form a singular piece. Metal-phobes cant help
but give in to the irresistable pop-punk hooks of Screamager and Nowhere. An
obvious influence is acknowledged in a storming version of Joy Divisions
Isolation, which pays tribute and transforms at the same time. Unrequited cant
be missed, featuring a rattling guitar riff that gets yanked away by a violent
cello tug from Martin McCarrick.
