By sticking to the dry, hard garage punk they do best no matter how the winds blew, they have managed to stay together with both their self-respect and legacy intact. Not all that far removed from the raucous early albums that defined their sound, THE LUCKY ONES finds Mudhoney in fine fighting form. Singer Mark Arm's howl is as ragged as ever and guitarist Steve Turner is still churning out wicked acid-flashback garage-blues riffs. Opener "I'm Now" struts like a shirtless, scarred Iggy Pop, with touches of glam piano and fuzzy, go-go rhythm while "Tales of Terror" is a primal, biker-blues stomp. Mudhoney have lived to prove that "grunge" was just a marketing term. The music on THE LUCKY ONES is pure, red-blooded rock & roll. Professional Reviews: Spin (p.114) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The bedrock combination of redlined guitars and Mark Arm's adenoidal wail has only been rendered more caustic by two decades..." Kerrang (Magazine) (p.49) - "The lolloping, chaotic garage squall of 'The Open Mind' seems to pour directly from their warped minds into your ears through some kind of unholy telepathy....It's a thrill." Q (Magazine) (p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Pitched somewhere between the Blues Explosion and Grinderman, it's an awesome racket..." Mojo (Publisher) (p.113) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Arm's glass-half-broken philosophizing on 'The Open Mind' and 'Inside Out Over You' feels like the poetic howl of the last sane man alive." Record Collector (magazine) (p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[Arm] remains angry and driven on new album THE LUCKY ONES, as amply displayed on bile-filled tracks that owe a lot to FUNHOUSE-era Stooges..."
