How many albums in are they now? My shelf says well over ten. It is pretty amazing how hard they are able to bring it every single time. \n\nAs we listeners go further down the road with the Goot, we are rewarded for our attentions by the band’s new effort, 100 Bells. It is, in many ways, much like previous BG slabs, where the Billy and Terry are all in, crackling with energy and taking great issue with the universe but this time around, there is a streamlined, mission specific adherence to the percussion tracks that nail down many of the songs that are indicative of a band that knows exactly what they want to do. Long time fans know that meteor lodging in the earth velocity beats have always been a primary propellant in Gootworld but on 100 Bells Billy and Terry are confidently in control of this awesome element and use it to great advantage. On Pray to God, the rhythm is oppressive and seeks to overwhelm Billy, who is thrown into battle, giving him no options but to either fight or submit. Unsurprisingly, he chooses the former, and his vocal prevails. \n\nAgain, the rhythm tracks, along with well placed guitar tracks on 100 Bells make for some of the best music Buck Gooter has ever put across. It is obvious Billy and Terry are well aware of where they’ve been and want to keep moving. After a couple of listens, go back and check what’s happening with the guitars as far as effects and playing. BG is definitely taking things to some interesting places. \n\nAs Buck Gooter refine and build upon their skills, they are able to infuse some subtlety into their music, which is indicative of a band evolving. Proof of this is apparent all over 100 Bells and as examples, The Dissolved Song and Hey Lou show aim, balance and a hard shine restraint that makes these tracks some of their best work to date. \n\nPerhaps one of the sharpest observational lyrics t\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: Cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Ramp Local\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalog Number: CS-RL-034\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Buck Gooter","offers":[{"title":"- ROCK *NEW*","offer_id":45105074995315,"sku":"9L5BMF-EJFE-6G","price":6.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/rock-new_HB4TW.jpg?v=1781526902","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/buck-gooter-100-bells-cassette-mint-m-mint-m","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
