4 out of 5 stars One Of King Diamond's Henchmen Goes On Holiday.......2002-08-10

Talk about a metal cd that sounds hipper,funkier,and smarter than any nu-metal band out there. Aside from some loopy parts("Water" and "Bolivian Mountains".I guess it's to be expected from a cd called Mushroom Songs)and some ok covers("Exciter" has been overdone, and the Janis Joplin tune could have used more muscle),this cd shows some intense creativity.

I think I recall reading somewhere that Shermann was into funk for awhile. Well, this is where he comes out of the closet and goes all Glenn Hughes on us. God, does this cd impress with cunning riffery and loads of groove. Listen to the Faith No More inspired "Inzane",and see if you can't get it out of your head. Witness the majesty of the title track and "Out Of Control" which jumps into a time machine and back to '76 to rock with Judas Priest. Then lull yourself into a false sense of security with "Water" only to have your brain exploded by "Hell To Pay" which sounds like Mike Patton singing over a modern Mercyful Fate composition while King Diamond's away conquering another dimension or something. Then take a breather with the Glenn Hughesy "Crazy";a heartfelt song to say the least.

Where had this cd been all my life?! I'm lovin' it ,and I'm beltin' out tunes from it(frontman Rick Ploughmann is a star in the making). Mushroom Songs is a love letter to all the wonderful bands,obscure and famous that four commited metallions worship,and I'm glad I finally came across this lesser-known gem. It all just sounds like a big jam session where Halford and Last Crack's Buddo share a mike,Mercyful Fate and Trouble get into a fistfight only to laugh about it later over hard liquor,and where Pat Travers discovers Faith No More are the sons he never knew he had.

5 out of 5 stars Hank Shermann Rocks on this CD.......2002-04-05
