Don Caballero December 7, 2007

With 'World Class Listening Problem,' Don Caballero's first full-length in over five years, they prove once again that they are innovators of their craft & remain head & shoulders above their peers. The bands' powerful, percussive-heavy sonic advance is denser, more expansive & burns with a new-found urgency. Thrones features Joe Preston, formerly of The Melvins. Enablers vocalist Pete Simonelli is a gritty, observant narrator rather than a verbose, exaggerated frontman. His clear enunciation, dry diction and controlled passion lend impact and credibility to smart, hard-boiled phrases that range from explicit to exquisite.
