A low-key seven-inch single released last summer suggested Glasgow's the Amazing Snakeheads were ones to watch, the ferocious 65-second Testifying Time recalling the early Hives with its expert grasp of garage-punk dynamics. Their debut album, however, sounds like the work of a different band, with momentum and brevity largely exchanged for dark and sprawling jams that mistake ponderousness for menace. Memories recalls the dislocating skronking of the Stooges' Fun House , without reaching its heights; Tiger by the Tail trudges aimlessly on for seven uneventful minutes. Only the more animated Here it Comes Again finds them delivering upon that early promise.
