This week I listened to Vehicle by the Clean. This is a very straight to the point album, only being 28 and a half minutes. It does not waste a single second, blasting your ears with jangly guitars. Bright and jangly are the most apt adjectives for this album. All of the guitars on here are very bright and the album has a lot of reverb on it. This is where the slight lo-fi quality in the production shines through, making the album not sound too sterile and overproduced. The songs themselves are pretty good as well. Just some pretty standard late 80s/early 90s jangly alternative/indie rock. There is some punkish qualities to the songs, but they stay pretty tame overall. What really shines here are the guitars, with the album acting as almost a showcase for some great chops and fantastic tones that the guitarists on here are able to produce. This is certainly an album worth revisiting, aided by its short length. 8/10
