Rite Time

A piece of shit reunion album, featuring the original five members. Malcolm Mooney still sounds like he's retching up little bugs (preferably beetles) all over the studio floor. The other guys have gotten older budweiser. And boringer. They certainly sound like they're having a good time, but the music sounds more like a Talking Heads reunion than a Can reunion. The "grooves" are stupid grooves. Grooves anybody could write in 30 seconds. And there's nothing "progressive," "anarchic," "polyrhythmic" or "interesting" going on in most of the songs. It's almost like listening to a Wesley Willis album, with this ridiculously repetitive music backing up a crazy black man who appears to be rambling on about a world of his own creation. And what the hell is up with this Peter Gabriel-style production? Bring back the 2-track! The 2-track now! I can sum up this album in four words that all begin with the letter B: Bland, boring, bad, and this album sucks. Rite Time? More like Soul Asylum's Candy From A Stranger if you ask me!!!!
