KING MISSILE really topped themselves with HAPPY HOUR, whichis also one of my favorite albums of the 90's! JOHN S. HALL wasalways a brilliant lyricist, or poet and he came up with someof his best lyrics for this, and some of his funniest, especiallyon I'M SORRY and DETACHABLE PE..... What also makes this albuma masterpiece is the music itself, which, for KING MISSILE, hadnever been so strong. Musically, they combine 90s grunge rockwith 70's prog rock and hard rock. The musical star of this al-bum is ROGER MURDOCK, whose adventurous and heavy jazz rockdrumming is all over this album. On IT'S SATURDAY, MURDOCKimprovises a wild and crazy drum solo, over which JOHN S HALLrecites some a very funny poem. There is such a variety in thesongs, from the very heavy AND, which has some pretty disgustingsound effects, to the very laid back HEAVEN to the dirge-like,almost church hymn like HAPPY HOUR, which is the most serioussong HALL and company have ever written and is also my favoriteKING MISSILE song of all time. I can't understand HALL'S lyrics,but for some reason, they strike a minor chord in me and hissinging for this song is his most emotional ever. WHAT A SONG!!I can't recommend thsi album enough, really!
