Album Notes
Stabbing Westward: Christopher Hall (vocals, guitar); Walter Flakus (guitar, keyboards, programming); Jim Sellers (guitar, bass); Andy Kubiszewski (guitar, drums, programming, background vocals).
Recorded at Bearsville Sound Studios, New York, New York in May 1995.
This quartet makes dark, angry music. Music about emotional pain, self-doubt and loneliness. Lead vocalist Christopher Hall seems to throw his entire being into every word, and more often than not he inhabits that gray area between song and scream. Even the songs that begin quietly--"Shame," for instance--eventually evolve into hammering sonic attacks.
"I stare in the mirror/So tired of this life," snarls Hall, and you believe every word of it. Or, in "So Wrong": "Give me back my mind/I'm empty inside." Guitars rumble and squawk behind Hall's vocal, then inevitably explode into full-fledged walls of distortion. Tempos range from funereal to frenetic, and if you like feel-good lyrics and a sing-along melody, stay away. But if you're partial to relentlessly real, emotionally honest guitar-driven rock, you're in the right place.
