The Soup Dragons - Hydrophonic
Review by Ravi . Tamada
Hydrophonic, the 1990 album by the Scottish indie rock band Soup Dragons, is a psychedelic and danceable masterpiece that showcases the band's eclectic influences and experimental spirit. From the opening track "Backwards Dog" to the closing anthem "Divine Thing," the album takes the listener on a wild ride through funk, soul, punk, and electronic music, with a healthy dose of social and political commentary.
The standout tracks include the singles "I'm Free" and "Mother Universe," which feature catchy guitar riffs, funky basslines, and infectious choruses that invite the listener to sing along and dance. "Crotch Deep Trash" and "Electric Blues" are slower and more introspective, but still showcase the band's knack for crafting memorable melodies and meaningful lyrics.
Hydrophonic is not without its flaws, however. Some of the tracks, such as "Lovegod" and "Drive the Pain," feel repetitive and derivative, and the album as a whole can be a bit disjointed and unfocused. Nevertheless, the Soup Dragons' energy and creativity shine through, and the album remains a classic of its genre.
