The Reverend Horton Heat • Discovery Vaults

 

Review from AllMusic (by Mark Deming):
In 2002, the Reverend Horton Heat partnered with ambitious indie label Artemis Records to release their seventh album, fittingly titled Lucky 7. By 2006, Artemis had ceased to exist, and in 2010, most of the label's catalog was purchased by an outfit called Entertainment One. eOne has since released a handful of compilations drawn from their masters under the uniform title Discovery Vaults, and they've found an ingenious way to make a Reverend Horton Heat collection out of the one disc they own on the group. For this album, they've knocked four songs off Lucky 7, changed the sequence, put it in a bland new sleeve, and voila! You get Heat's volume in the Discovery Vaults series! Lucky 7 wasn't the worst album from Jim Heath and his partners in psychobilly, but it wasn't their best, either, and it's a matter of debate if Lucky 7 is hurt or helped by the absence of four tunes. What's here is good stuff, for the most part, though "You've Got a Friend in Jimbo" and "Duel at the Two O'Clock Bell" are atypical numbers more interesting to fans than casual listeners, and the rest is stylistically familiar to anyone who knows this band: tales of cars, girls, and bad behavior scored by 100 mph guitar solos, frantic slap bass, and manic drumming. In short, Lucky 7 was a typical Reverend Horton Heat album, and Discovery Vaults is 71-percent of that typical album; since Lucky 7 is still in print, it's hard to say what purpose this "collection" is meant to serve.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Mark Deming):
En 2002, The Reverend Horton Heat se asoció con el ambicioso sello independiente Artemis Records para lanzar su séptimo álbum, apropiadamente titulado Lucky 7. Para 2006, Artemis había dejado de existir, y en 2010, la mayor parte del catálogo del sello fue adquirida por una empresa llamada Entertainment One. Desde entonces, eOne ha lanzado un puñado de compilaciones extraídas de sus masters bajo el título uniforme Discovery Vaults, y han encontrado una forma ingeniosa de hacer una colección de Reverend Horton Heat con el único disco que poseen del grupo. Para este álbum, eliminaron cuatro canciones de Lucky 7, cambiaron la secuencia, lo pusieron en una nueva cubierta aburrida, ¡y voilà! ¡Obtenés el volumen de Heat en la serie Discovery Vaults! Lucky 7 no fue el peor álbum de Jim Heath y sus compañeros en psychobilly, pero tampoco fue el mejor, y es materia de debate si Lucky 7 sale perjudicado o beneficiado por la ausencia de cuatro temas. Lo que hay aquí es material bueno, en su mayor parte, aunque "You've Got a Friend in Jimbo" y "Duel at the Two O'Clock Bell" son números atípicos más interesantes para los fanáticos que para los oyentes casuales, y el resto es estilísticamente familiar para cualquiera que conozca a esta banda: historias de autos, chicas y mal comportamiento con solos de guitarra a 100 mph, bajo slap frenético y batería maníaca. En resumen, Lucky 7 fue un álbum típico de Reverend Horton Heat, y Discovery Vaults es el 71 por ciento de ese álbum típico; dado que Lucky 7 sigue en catálogo, es difícil decir qué propósito pretende cumplir esta "colección".
