Polysics - Neu
Reviewed by ryan
Throughout the length of Neu, Polysics crossbreed the requisite choice of Devo with Horse the Band and the Red Light Sting to arrive at an album that is frantic, frenzied, and capable of igniting anybody with enough energy to dance. But don’t be expecting just any 4/4 dance tracks here; instead, Polysics throw new wave jitters into a serrated punk blender that results in A.D.D.-riddled songs that seizure all over the musical map. With absurd lyrics like “Spread the butter or spread the jam/ kick out the ball or kick out the cat” and electronic squiggles spilling all over Neu, Polysics are a band that can rouse crazy, wide-eyed energy for about one song, but a full album is nothing short of annoying.
