3.5 greatJared Floryan | March 25th 15

Chaotic for the sake of chaos, and yet also somewhat incoherent for some of the right reasons. Melt-Banana were clinging to a more raw, grindcore-influenced style on the album known as Speak Squeak Creak. Most tracks, although synonymous in tone with one another due to either the discordant guitar work or Yasuko's unconventional method of belting out Engrish, are a little refreshing since they don't really drag; if anything, some of the songs presented are under a minute. In case if you were curious about what MxBx used to be like before the shift to a hi-fi sound, give this a go ASAP.

Later on they had the problem of either getting too jumpily lockstep or too reliant on pop hooks, but here everything is built naturally on the cadence of the blistering guitarcraft. Just about every effect-soaked riff/lick/thingy is mad genius. Even the mosh parts are awesome because the guitarist plays with the timing just enough to make it neck-breaking
