Here Comes Trouble does a fine job of showcasing a lot of guitar fretwork, funk style bass, capable clock work drum precision, where as the vocals (sing/talk style) accentuates just enough before falling apart. Though the production hugs the arena rock stratus, yet what Scatterbrain shows the listener is in its currency of the moment. I'd equate it to taking notice of how important a situation is, but often is undone by a gag, or joke at the expense of the recipient.
The songs have a wide area of coverage they're taking the listener into. The construction is adept, experimental, and spastic. Most of the work straddles on the competent side, but often goes into these bizarre enclaves. The improvised shtick used definitely garners a few chuckles, but plateaus after a few repeated listens.
Overall Here Comes Trouble sits in a frame of isolation, and I think that carries over into the grandiosity it was expressing but never could get passed that novelty aspect. If your a fan of Faith No More, Gargamel!, Infectious Grooves, GWAR, and BigDumbFace or anything that has a slight twinge of humor then seek this out. Thanks for reading.
