The Vault: Taking A Ride With The Hellacopters

hella.jpgDespite its title, High Visibility didn’t do much for the Hellacopters upon its release in the U.S. in 2002–though it did confirm to longtime fans that these Swedes had the ’70s-influenced guitar-rock sound down cold. “Toys And Flavors” might be the best song of the band’s career, a dark-and-dirty anthem that begs to played at every high school parking lot at least once a semester:

A generation of music lovers is getting ripped off. That's the feeling among audiophiles who say that MP3 compression, which has made music portable, affordable, and packable on small devices, has ruined the music. In some cases, it’s ruining your ears.

    Their “concert” movie may be the best portrayal of the rock life ever. Barely any live footage, lots of hotel boredom and backstage stuff, including the instant dismissal and sorting-through-chaff-for-possible-sellability of a fan-proffered gift box.

    Forget what it’s called…oh, “Goodnight, Cleveland.” Yes.

    The Hellacopters sank to plodding arena rock here. The band had enough gas in the tank from Dregen’s departure to make Grande Rock a solid record, but the wheels came off on High Visibility. (This album does end with three furious songs, however.) On subsequent releases, the Hellacopters continue to sound bland.
