The title Bleed is probably referring to what will happen to your ears upon listening to this Speedealer album. This is, after all, a blistering mix of speed metal and post-grunge grit, like Nirvana or Soundgarden on some serious uppers. Throughout, the record is frenetic and schizophrenic -- like it doesn't know whether it's descended from Metallica, Flipper, or Judas Priest. But the group plays this insanity with such a sleazy and rambunctious confidence (it has the nerve to call a song "Rock and Roll"!) that you have to take its word on it. From the violent and raucous "Choked" (Black Flag meets Motörhead) to the monolithic and oddly funky "The Inventor of Evil," this is a big, nasty, coke-fueled doom fest. It would be in the same genre as self-proclaimed robo-rockers the Queens of the Stone Age, except that Speedealer remove anything remotely "robo" from their tweaker rants in exchange for a visceral and volatile mess. By the end of this record, Speedealer have no contemporaries. REO Speedealer was such a better name, though. ~ Charles Spano

Bleed Music Review Average Rating: (1 out of 5 stars)  demo quality major disappointment
After the brilliant Jason Newsted (ex-Metallica)-produced "Second Sight" album, I expected another nitro-infused, high octane delivery of red- necked, highly caffeinated rough & raw metal. No longer affiliated with Palm records Speedealer, according to their self-penned liner notes, "recorded" their latest Panzer flattening opus in a single day and a half...and it sounds like it. Speedealer are deftly capable merchants of slow, mid-paced, and speedy barstool metal and are seemingly able to unleash incredible amounts of power at the drop of tooth-indented beer cap. They have it all except a decent recording contract and skilled producer. "Bleed" is precisely at demo quality in terms of construction & sound and only a faint blood-brawling brother to "Second Sight" (which is a near perfect barnstormer of frozen mammoth proportions). Bleed? Maybe, but someone or something sucked ALL of the lifeblood out of this once steamrolling trainwreck of a band. Speedealer has taken its' foot off of the accelerator and screeched to an abrupt & all too dissatisfying stop. Who would have "thunk" it possible? Surely not I.
Come on guys, you have the talent to take the planet by raging storm so do it up right next time and blow the lid off of planet Earth's faltering sensibilities.

Recorded between 1972 & 1977. Includes liner notes by Martin Barden.
Marc Bolan recorded a lot -- so much, it seems, that he documented every time he picked up a guitar, whether it was at home or in the studio. Over the years, much of this has come out, most notably in the T. Rex Unchained series, which spans a mind-boggling 16 volumes (and this doesn't even include the rarities and outtakes that appeared on expanded versions of the proper albums). Unchained is a hardcore fan's delight, but it is nearly impossible to navigate for anybody who doesn't have prior knowledge of Bolan minutia, or who doesn't have the time and patience to sort it all out. That's where this double-disc, Work in Progress, comes in -- it distills the series to 55 highlights, offering a disc of recordings Bolan made at home, and a disc that he recorded in the studio with T. Rex. This is still quite lengthy, but the difference is that it's sharply chosen and sequenced, so it's as enjoyable as a regular T. Rex collection, albeit one with varying quality of fidelity and performances. There are no lost classics on either disc, and sometimes the tracks don't amount to more than a sketch of an idea, but it's all charming and tuneful; Bolan would throw away hooks other bands would kill to have, and it all sounds effortless, ...

Timecat is Portland-based songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Rob Oberdorfer's venue for darkly honest love songs and his fascination with cheap synthesizers. Rob laid down the tracks (with the exception of some lovely backing vocals by Ladawn Sheffield) for 'This Should Mean Nothing' locked away in his basement studio by himself, infusing his straightforward ...
