Extra Width is a crankin' piece of bluesoid ranting, with Jon Spencer working up one hysterical performance after another. "Afro" sounds like an old Curtis Mayfield track. Similarly, "Soul Letter" is a hefty chunk of riff-muck, as is the noisy bliss of "Soul Typecast." The playing is energetic and unhinged, and Spencer drives the engine with his whoopin' and hollerin'. Plenty of noticeably '70s production techniques add to the atmosphere, contributing significantly to what may be Spencer's best record.
A little Mog love for the JSBX. This is quite representative of their early punkish groove-blues style, complete with unintelligible lyrics. In the end you get what they were trying to say, pretty much nothing except that their lives are pretty cool. What a great drummer!
