Brainhammer (Megaphone,
1970): Taps fourth album, rated A by Entertainment
Weekly. "The band hits its lumbering stride, moving with
a lean, mean aplomb of a brontosaurus in fighting trim."
Includes the anthem/tribute "Big Bottom," which "brilliantly
foreshadows Queens later, lesser ode to the bum cheek, Fat-Bottomed
Girls. " Also includes the rocking "Lie Back and
Take It" and the sultry "Swallow My Love." (IST)
Fans should note that the liner notes on the "This is Spinal
Tap" soundtrack are in error when they list release of "Big
Bottom" as 1973. It was released on the 1970 album "Brainhammer."
