Albums So Far

Press Reviews Here's a review from CURRENT magazine -- a free weekly thing here in Ann Arbor. The guy who wrote it has obviously been playing too much Dungeons and Dragons."Belching fire and brimstone on its debut album like an angry green dragon, Ypsilanti alternative thrash trio The Jealous Type might discourage the weak-hearted with I Hate It Here, but reward the adventurer with weighty sonic treasure.A barrage of noise assaults. "Nowhere to Go But Down" blasts loud, fast and hard. Bassist and vocalist Damon Palyka yowls nothing new, but it comes straight from the gut--where Bill Fantegrossi's guitar churns and Steve Marton's drums pummel.Surprising signs surface from disorienting blackness. Weighted by confusion, "Jonah Drowns" sinks in sorrow, buoyed briefly by dynamic shifts. Drummer Marton, who also sings, whispers almost inaudibly, "Solitude makes happiness / as mournful as Christmas Day / where children stand before the tree / beneath it only lumps of coal and abscess teeth," as murderous instrumental stabs assail his repeated words. Despite cloudy delivery, Marton pens deft lyrics. "Lucky Girl" evokes intense imagery of lost love: "Allegories and alibis / Onyx tears and crystal lies / falling from you / Salty stains and suture scars / Iron cage with rusty bars."Other songs glimmer. Fantegrossi coaxes the genie out of the bottle with atmospheric guitar and triples the vocal attack in the bitter "Once I Was a Little Light." "Tired & Loveless" slows to sadness, highlighted by mandolin. Palyka offers the quietly tender "Tomorrow in Your Eyes."Deep in dismal darkness of a subterranean cave, behind thick walls of rock and bolted doors of metal, The Jealous Type rears its ugly head on I Hate It Here, guarding musical treasures. While occasionally marred by murky engineering, it still pulses with fire.
