Trouble Simple Mind Condition DMM 180g LP

Simple Mind Condition marked Trouble's return after a long hiatus (twelve years had passed since the release of Plastic Green Head). Some complaints and criticism followed upon its release, which are not really fair. Although fat and doomy stomps as on Psalm 9 and The Skull are not present in abundance, nor are the stoner metal speed assaults of the self-titled Trouble, but neither of those things have been present since the self-titled album came out. Manic Frustration was a killer album, no doubt, but it was different since it was focused on hard rock and not the doom and stoner influences. Plastic Green Head remedied this problem, to impressive standards and resulted in another great Trouble album. This album features songs that are well-written, have a lot of sludgy stoner hooks, and are drenched in Eric Wagner's (R.I.P.) woe-is-me penmanship. Overall, a very good album, a convincing album worth your listening time. Those expecting the past could be a little bit disappointed, but those who will give the time to this album will find a hidden treasure in it.
