I was certain this post already happened.
As I let I Got Heaven rip through the Barn for the umpteenth time since its release on Epitaph on March 1 at can’t ignore it levels, I was sure, damn near certain, I picked it as an Album of the Week. As it turned out, and as is a common occurrence, Stephen Mejias picked it as one of his #NewMusicFriday picks and seeing we often see ear to ear, I thought his pick was mine.
I jumped aboard the Mannequin Pussy train in 2016 with their album Romantic, which put them on my Must Watch list but I never saw this coming. I Got Heaven is a complete record, a wall to wall, track fer track wonder reaching well beyond a bad attitude into a perfect music/message union.
A perfect music/message union.
