2 out of 5 stars Early work is too derivative and unmemorable.......2001-11-28

Starting out as REO Speedealer (later dropping the prefix when threatened legally by obviously still-active '80s balladeers REO Speedwagon), this wily quartet from Dallas, Texas has weathered its share of rock misfortunes: their original label, Royalty Records (early home to Whorgasm and Dystopia One), went bankrupt; all of the band's gear was stolen while on tour; et al. A former affiliate of Rykodisc, Palm Pictures-which by all accounts is primarily a jazz/world music label-re-released Here Comes Death, the band's 1999 sophomore effort with new artwork. The music, however, remains firmly mired in the latter stages of the punked-out, grimy groove rock trend started by post-Sub Pop salad days outfits like Supersuckers and the Hellacopters and furthered by Zeke, Reverend Horton Heat, J.J. Paradise Players Club, Tee Pee Records, and all those lousy non-doom bands on the sadly defunct Man's Ruin label.

Almost all the cuts are one- to two-minute spurts of hammer-down muscle rock with little variation other than tempo. "CCCP (Cold War Blues)" and "Nobody's Hell Like Mine" sling a sludgy groove like Weedeater jamming with George Thorogood, while "Hate You Better" and the brief "You Lose, I Win" reanimate the punkabilly corpse of the long-dead Elvis Hitler. The instrumental "Sasparilla" sounds more like the Allman Brothers leanings of Halfway To Gone, and "Absinthe" smacks of a more boogie-styled Kiss. Excepting the Cavity/EHG swing of the seven-minute "California Tumbles Into The Sea," none of the songs is remarkable enough to warrant a second spin. But Speedealer are busy readying their new studio album, produced by former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted (ironically, Speedealer were signed by the same guy who signed Metallica to Elektra in 1984), so maybe their new music will mature into something more memorable.
