Love Battery suffered the grunge metal curse. Clearly far talented than most of the Seattle bands who made it big, Love Battery slipped by the wayside, yet despite their ability, still got lumped in with the dirty trend. Put simply, Love Battery were a cool, fuzzy rock 'n' roll band, hints of Nirvana, entwined with the Rolling Stones, a bit of Mudhoney, some punk, even Mother Love Bone I guess, all resulting in an accessible psychedelia. I much preferred their earlier works 'between The Eyes' and 'Dayglo' but 'Confusion...' deserves its place for its raw-edged rock 'n' roll. 'Dead Boys' has an indie buzz about it, the title cut a dreamy edge and one small step a psych, cool go-go feel. 'Monkey Brain' and 'Snipe Hunt' have a harder edge.
Certainly a cult band and proof what a negative effect the grunge scene actually had, because so many more talented bands suffered at the hands of the sickly trend.
6.5/10
