4 out of 5 stars Find out just what can be accomplished with a 4-track........1998-07-30

Worth The Weight can be viewed as a documentary of sorts. You get the feeling that this Memphis trio is learning how to use a four track as they go along.

The opening track is a groove guitar piece that seems to be a first shot at using multi track technology. This is not to say that the Simple Ones fall prey to gimmicks and tricks though. The songs are strong and strange and traverse a broad spectrum of styles and emotions.

Almost every song is distinctive and interesting with unnoticed surprises that pop up after repeated plays. On the first listen, songs like "Left In Space," "Pen," and "The Wrath Of God" make this a keeper. Once you get cozy with this record though, "Toothpaste," "T-Shirt," and "On My Nerves" reveal themselves to be mini-masterpieces as well.

In short, even the throwaways (and there are a couple of them) manage to hold their own and contribute to the overall effect.
