Royal Trux: Neil Hagerty (vocals, guitar, pedal steel guitar, violin, whistle, ocarina, piano, organ, keyboards, synthesizer, bass, bass pedals); Jennifer Herrema (vocals).
Engineers: Mike Snyder, Christian Quick, Royal Trux.
Recorded between August 1998 and March 1999.
Royal Trux embodies the spirit of rock 'n' roll. Since kicking their debilitating drug habits before 1998's incendiary ACCELERATOR album, Neil Hagerty and Jennifer Herrema have been fired up by pure adrenaline. VETERANS OF DISORDER harnesses this newfound energy and builds on the sonic blueprint of its predecessor. Thankfully, Royal Trux has managed to retain its balance between chaos and melody, and Jennifer still sounds a little like Marge Simpson after a heavy night out, which is no bad thing.
The kick-ass opener "Waterpark" is about as direct as the Trux has ever been, sounding like a cross between the Stooges and Joan Jett. The group's fascination with calypso style rhythms is continued on "The Exception" and "Lunch Money," and both tracks are laced with weaving drunken guitars. "Blue Is The Frequency" delves into rock's past for some late '60s madness, while during the pop rush of "Second Skin," these veterans sound like teenage tearaways.
