Shriekback - Glory Bumps
Review by Becky Ramsey
Glory Bumps by Shriekback is an album that showcases the band's ability to create a unique blend of rock, funk, and electronic music. The album features ten tracks that are both catchy and thought-provoking, with lyrics that touch on themes such as love, loss, and the human condition.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "And the Rain," which features a haunting melody and powerful vocals from lead singer Barry Andrews. The track "The Painter Paints" is another highlight, with its upbeat tempo and infectious chorus that will have listeners tapping their feet.
Throughout the album, Shriekback demonstrates their mastery of different musical genres, seamlessly blending elements of funk, rock, and electronic music to create a sound that is uniquely their own. The band's use of synthesizers and other electronic instruments adds an extra layer of complexity to the music, creating a sonic landscape that is both dynamic and engaging.

Summary by Becky Ramsey
Comments
While Cormorant got off to a poor start and finished strongly, Glory Bumps takes the opposite tact, starting off with the excellent Hooray for Everything and even better The Bride Stripped Bare, before giving way to the terrible Burying the Bunny (about a shotgun wedding?) and the mediocre Bittersweet. The first side ends well with Amaryllis in the Sprawl, before we trudge on to Side Two. Mahalia gets it off to a decent start, a tale of depression and chemical dependence, which is followed by a decent title track and the album highlight Squanderer, an ode to altered states of existence.Had the Shrieks been better editors and combined the best of this and Cormorant, they may indeed have created a late career masterpiece to delight old fans and bring new ones into the fold.
Glory Bumps.......otherwise known as GENITAL WARTS!!!
Those horns suit Barry rather too well.
almost everything they he) do (does) is at least nice? But mostly exceptional??? Nicies!!
Shriekback's new album, "Without Real String Or Fish" is AWESOME!
A voice that sexy coming from a guy who looks like Grampa. Amazing....
(and LATE to the game...as usual)
Oh, the weird part of youtube again...but...not so bad...interesting.
Great artist!
Good lord this is incredible....
i think he trying to say the world is fucked
@TonyNashville What is "Blad"?
@TonyNashville What the hell are you talking about? What are you some kind of nut?
@scottrc5391 He should really switch to decaf :)
I know YOU, too! And tis wondrous but I FINALLY recovered my YouTube PW & Login! look for me around here now, too! Lurve ya, Love Bazzer too~
from what I make of it they are showing what America is up to...or the NWO. and it's backed by religion.
ever though I am now clean and sober this video gave me a killer acid trip. thanks!
Yes, I guess that would coincide withe the painting on shriekback's website.
Heeeeey.... I know YOU.
My thinkations are along the lines of this song being a pisstake of the Rapture, and how it's said to coincide with a massive war. Or something.
I'm not getting the explosions and military aircraft meanings.... Nevermind the rest of negative imagery such as fire etc. Any ideas?
As Barry gets older, he's starting to look like Ben Kingsley
oh my..
How about a nice USA tour , and drag andy partridge out with you as well!
got to get him over his stage fright!
