Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Spazz on ‘Gary’s Free Time (There’s Lots Of It)’. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Spazz has. While no new Spazz album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1997 tour in Africa. Smart music for smart people.
It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener.
Crocket as a highlight of Sweating’ to the Oldies contains a ton of excellent melodies. One Ghetto To The Next pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Return Of The Wall Of Death. Who Writes Your Rules is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Mighty Morphin Power Violence - a classic song. Spazz has astounded me with this amazing track. I can’t stop humming along Kiss Of The Sasquatch. Hot Dog Water Popsicle In The Hand of Eric Wood is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. I Hate The Kids is amazing work of Spazz. Spudboy is so unique, as each one of the songs is. Overall a nice softer song. Dirt The Purity is simple, dignified and effective, Spazz refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. I like Knuckle Scraper because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Song Box II (Yates Goes to Africa) is actually a funny song. Spazz Vs. Mother Nature - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Nuge On A Stick is the funkiest number on the album. Donger is the song that really did it for me. Gnome Servant is a striking and quite long song. Hard Boiled - arguably the best track on Sweating’ to the Oldies album. 4 Times A Day is a good listen every once in a while. All Urban Outfield is Spazz’s best work in years. Lethal - This one makes me want to not only sing along. Hot Dog Water Popsicle In the Hand Of Eric Wood is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. The Box is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. Droppin’ Many Ravers is a exquisite sing-along. In the Name of… is absolutely incredible. Might For Right - This one is lively and fun. Loach I just LOVE this mix! Lyrics of Mad At The World are precise and evocative. If you are a Spazz fan, you will love Tripper. Uniform is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. After you’ve listened to Bore, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Hard Boiled. All Urban Outfield is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. Weedeater on Sweating’ to the Oldies is solid and easy to listen to. Bled Dry is really a nice song to relax and listen too. Closet - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. Some call No Room from Sweating’ to the Oldies as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. Although Hug Yourself is very melodic it is far from sad. You Gotta Mold It sets the tone for the entire album. Lethal great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Charming song, great melody. This is one hell of a track. Enterslavement is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Sweating’ to the Oldies. When listening to Hard Boiled (live), it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Burning Tongue (live) one of the best in my collection. Some of the arrangements found on Sweating’ to the Oldies are surprisingly edgy. Hot Dog Water Popsicle in the Hand of Eric Wood (live) - A nice song. Dan Lifting Banner (live) as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Spazz has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Spazz. Voice and instruments in Uniform complement each other. No Thought is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Pressure is probably the most interesting track on Sweating’ to the Oldies. Burnt have really caught my ear and imagination. A great put together song. Force Fed - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. This song may be the most meaningful. Precision Fastening is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. No Spazz song has come close to capturing my attention as Lost Cause (Negative Approach) did.
