Occulator Reviews . . .
Crash Kelly, Penny Pills (Liquor and Poker, 2005)
This album passes the lazy test, wherein I left it in my car’s disc-changer for several spins where other albums might suck or bore to the point where they need to be extracted after the first go-round. But it fails the iPod test, which of course is when it makes it onto my handheld juke box, or particularly into a playlist—truly the mark of greatness. Crash Kelly is inoffensive bar rock. Toe-tapping tunes? Check. Sing-alongable? Check. But that’s about as lukewarm a review as I can offer for these purveyors of sugary, modern-day glamrock.
