Red / Orange Marbled Vinyl. "On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System" ist das zweite Album von The Bug Club und enthält das bereits veröffentlichte Highlight "Quality Pints" sowie weitere Wohlfühl-Songs wie "War Movies", "A Bit Like James Bond", "We Don't Care About That" und "Lonsdale Slipons". Die Platte erscheint als "Red & Orange Marbled Vinyl" LP. Auf "On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System" serviert die Band eine kräftige Portion ihres typischen Modern-Lovers-meets-Nuggets-Garagenrocks, bei dem sich B-52's "Call-and-Response"-Spaß mit AC/DC-Powerchord-Grunzen mischt. Die Eröffnungs-Doppelsalve "War Movies" und das zuvor veröffentlichte "Quality Pints" lehnen sich an den rasanten Punk an und geben den Ton an: Zweistimmige Pisserei, surreale Betrachtungen alltäglicher Themen, die den Kreis schließen und tiefgründig werden, Riffs den ganzen Tag lang und dann auch den ganzen nächsten Tag. "Quality Pints" befasst sich mit den dringenden Sorgen jeder gewissenhaften tourenden Band und beherzigt die Regel der drei R's, die von Mark E Smith von The Fall, einem berühmten Fan von Pints, aufgestellt wurde. Repetition, Repetition, Repetition. Wiederholungen also. Wenn es so wichtig ist, und das ist es, lohnt es sich, es noch einmal zu sagen. "War Movies" verbindet verzerrtes Tuckern mit einer umfassenden Best-Of-Liste des Genres, und Sam Willmett bietet ein Solo, das so lässig herausgeschleudert wird, dass dein Vater seine wiederaufkeimenden Ambitionen als Gitarrist sofort aufgeben wird. Die Melodie ist immer noch allgegenwärtig, und das witzig-metaphorische "Pop Single" zeigt Ray Davies von seiner selbstbewusstesten Seite. Wer nach einer Pop-Single fragt, bekommt sie auch - The Bug Club lassen sich nicht lumpen. Und es ist diese selbstbewusst alberne Art, die uns "Lonsdale Slipons" beschert, in dem endlich den schlechtesten Schuhen Großbritanniens in Songform Tribut gezollt wird, und "We Don't Care About That", das uns allen sagt, wir sollen aufhören, über viele Dinge zu reden. Du überlegst, ob du eine vorläufige Rezension über das, was du gerade hörst, verfassen sollst? Hör auf damit. "Better Than Good" hat dich auch hier im Griff. Du bekommst, was du bekommst, und zum Glück scheint jeder damit zufrieden zu sein - vor allem mit der Lo-Fi-Produktion, dem Violent-Femmes-Bass und dem Sterling-Morrison-Solo dieses Tracks. Am besten überlässt man die heißen Takes The Bug Club, meinen wir. Diese Platte gibt uns Recht. Red & Orange marbled vinyl. The way you're saying it, "prolific" isn't the right word for The Bug Club. You've got to say it with the trademark Welsh lilt and pay due homage to this inimitable band's origins in the renowned hit factory of Caldicot, South Wales. Do that, and you're about right with how to summarize a group who've released ten singles, two albums, two EPs, three things nobody knew how to describe, and an album under a different band's name, all since 2021, and while playing 200+ gigs a year. Initially comprising the songwriting core of Sam Willmett (vocals/guitar) and Tilly Harris (vocals/bass) with Dan Matthew (drums), The Bug Club started plying their trade in 2016. They were signed by UK label Bingo Records in Autumn of 2020. BBC 6 Music's Marc Riley was an early champion, hammering the single, booking the band in for a session as soon as it was allowed, and rightfully praising songwriters capable of singing the whole alphabet in a two-minute song and making it work. Third LP On The Intricate Inner Workings Of The System - their first for Sub Pop - sees the band serve up a beefy slab of their speciality Modern-Lovers-meets-Nuggets garage rock. There's B-52's call-and-response fun mixed with AC/DC power chord grunt. Leaning towards fast-paced punk, opening double salvo "War Movies" and "Quality Pints" sets out the stall: duel vocal piss-taking, surreal takes on everyday topics that go full circle and become profound, riffs all day long and then all the next day too. "Quality Pints" deals with the pressing concerns of any conscientious touring outfit, taking to heart the rule of the three R's as penned by renowned fellow pints fan Mark E. Smith of The Fall. Repetition, repetition, repetition. If it's that important, which it is, it's worth saying again. "War Movies" dresses distorted chugging with a comprehensive 'best of' list for the genre, with Sam Willmett offering a solo casually chucked out in a way that will make your dad promptly give up any resurgent guitar playing ambitions. And "A Bit Like James Bond" tackles the UK's sleaziest undercover export at the same time as the embarrassing ego problem that besets much of its population - but it's only heavy(ish) in the fun, loads-of-riffs sense. So, that's what they've been finishing up during their massive month-long break from gigs. In a bid to avoid being branded layabouts, The Bug Club will support their upcoming Sub Pop release with a springtime tour of the UK and Europe beginning May 10, before heading out to the US in September.

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
