Synopsis

Amazon.com

By kicking off with "Who Wants To Rock?" and "Pure Rock Fury," it's clear that Clutch's agenda is to rock, sans qualifiers and with a boatload of conviction. Neil Fallon's darkly menacing vocals and the band's psychedelic-influenced power rock is reminiscent of Fu Manchu and Monster Magnet, or, to a lesser degree, Danzig. While a live album isn't likely to earn Clutch its well-deserved fame, the 15 cuts here provide a fine overview for fans and an ideal intro for the uninitiated. Smooth, funky, gut-punching bass and smart, sly songs set Clutch apart. From the aggro jam in "Careful With That Mic" to the edgy "Pure Rock Fury" to the Henry Rollins-like "Impetus," Live at the Googolplex captures Clutch at its peak. While this potent band's is best experienced in concert, a live recording is the next best thing. --Katherine Turman

CD Reviews

Could you please turn the vocals up?

"If the vocals were any louder on this cd, it would have to have been called "Neil Fallon Yells For an Hour at the Googleplex"."

Katherine Turman should not review Clutch

"I think Katherine's review sucks. She has no basis for comparison. Fu Manchu? pshaw. I don't see how Fu Manchu is anything like Clutch. Danzig? Uh, your mother. Best not to bring Monster Magnet into the fray, either. All great bands, but all unique and different from the guys from Baltimore.

I feel bad that she was saddled with this review, as she clearly did her best without having some comparable bands in mind, and indeed, who does compare Clutch with?

But, sucky sucky review not so lucky.

Clutch in concert is one of the tightest, most precise outfits I have witnessed. The experience, for me, grazed on respect, flirted with incredulity, feasted on power, reveled in charging bliss.

I'm buying this disc based upon all that. And the fact that every other Clutch album sits on a rack opposite (and a little to the right) the CD player in envy of the next time its go-round number comes up."
