The Datsuns - Outa Sight/Outa Mind By Joey Grace
The
Datsuns - Outa Sight/Outa Mind
The Datsuns attempt a Classic Rock Revival After several listens it�s hard to describe the Datsun�s �old but new� sound. There is no special effects, no synthesizers or spacey beep beep ballyhoo. This is straight up Classic Rock n� Roll mixed with the sound of today. They incorporate all sounds of seventies rock, with likes of Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, T Rex, Deep Purple, and of course Led Zeppelin, which is understandable since Outa Sight/Outa Mind is produced by John Paul Jones. They can pack a punch, in the same manner of Queens of the Stone Age, but sound less �stoner rock� and more �drunken rock.� �Messin� Around� takes a Marilyn Manson style riff and puts an Alice Cooper flair too it. �Girls Best Friend� has the Iggy Pop vibe, but ends up sounding more like Mooney Susuki. There are even hints of Rage Against the Machine in �Hong Kong Fury,� same riffs just better solos. �What I�ve Lost� is groovy summer lament song that makes want to drive along the cost with top down as your hair is flapping in the wind. John Paul Jones does produce this, but I get the feeling that the band came into the studio with this sound and direction. These songs don�t really sound like cheap rip off�s of the classics, there is definitely enough original material the carry the album out from behind the Classic Rock cloud. Outa Sight/Outa Mind is a valentine
to the afore mentioned artists, which has a legitimate place our musical
realm right now. As Rap-Metal, fades and Emo starts to sound stale,
it�s good to go back in time. At the very least Outa Sight/Outa
Mind can serve as a gateway drug for the previously mentioned bands.
After all the kids need to know Iggy, Alice, and the real Ozzy, before
they can appreciate what�s out today.
