Not everything I share necessarily stimulates me, and this one is a fairly representative case in point. No,
Thin White Rope were never a top-tier favorite of mine, even though I'm appreciative of their 1985 debut,
Exploring the Axis.
Bottom Feeders was something of a stopgap effort between that album and their '87 effort,
Moonhead. A few tracks here, including "Macy's Window" and a scalding live rendition of Suicide's immortal "Rocket U.S.A." wound up as bonus cuts on the CD version of
...Axis, and are two of my top recommendations. The opening boozy blues throwdown "Ain't That Loving You Baby," is too obnoxious for my tastes, but "Atomic Imagery" exudes a brooding temperament I'm much more capable of latching onto. I haven't delved into the remainder of TWR's catalog, but I'm tempted to, even if the entirety of this ep failed to rub off on me.
01. Ain't That Loving You Baby
02. Macy's Window
03. Waking Up
04. Valley of the Bones
05. Atomic Imagery
06. Rocket USA (live)
