The AC/DC comparisons are unavoidable when it comes to Rhino Bucket, so allow me to make comparative allusion right off: if the Bucket's 1990 debut was their 'High Voltage,' then 'Get Used To It' is their 'Back In Black'. My only gripe with the debut was its recording: it just seemed kind of... "quiet," I guess, or muted. No such problem with this offering, as the volume has been turned up a couple notches, amplifying an even better collection of tunes. Yes, it's AC/DC worship, but with a scuzzy, L.A. twist.
"Hey There" is the pick of the litter in a heartbeat, with its leering verses and a huge, heavy chorus. "Beat To Death Like A Dog" makes its mark as well, opening the disc with a steady pulse. The band gets a bit more melodic (but no less rockin') on "No Friend Of Mine" and "Ride With Yourself," the latter which you may recall from the first 'Wayne's World' movie. "Bar Time" has a cool little twin-guitar riff, while "This Ain't Heaven" has an almost Stonesy guitar intro. Just about every other song sports a great, driving beat and shouted, gang-style chorus, with "Burn The World" and "Scratch 'n' Sniff" being two of the faster examples. "Stomp" closes out the disc with a slow, deliberate churn. It is an instrumental, aside from some weird spoken-word samples.
Make no mistake though: Rhino Bucket definitely upped the ante on this release. If you've not heard of it, that's somewhat understandable; look no further than the year of release: Nineteen-ninety-Seattle.
