On their fourth release for Reprise and seventh overall,
Mudhoney show that they have absolutely no plans to mellow out in their old age. On
Tomorrow Hit Today, the influential Seattle outfit harness their attack more than the full-throttle previous release,
My Brother the Cow.
Mark Arm still sings with all the attitude he can muster, while the others gleefully bash away at their instruments, creating tunes comparable to the enjoyable racket that
the New York Dolls and
Stooges laid down earlier. And it's very impressive that
Mudhoney can still deliver true garage rock all these years later -- "I Have to Laugh" and the opening "A Thousand Forms of Mind" are classic
Mudhoney stompers, and they mix it up with '60s surf ("Night of the Hunted") and blues-rock ("Move With the Wind"). Along with
the Melvins,
Mudhoney remained one of the few remaining Seattle originals, and
Tomorrow Hit Today is one of their finest and most focused. ~ Greg Prato
