Mostly guitar based, Gary Dranow’s ‘Mother’s Angry’ has some of the chunkiest overdriven guitar tones possible. Whether it is on the heavy, sludging riffs, or on the song’s ingenious solo, built from a handful of truly fascinating licks, ‘Mother’s Angry’ has some truly enjoyable guitar performances, and with one extra beat on some repetitions of the song’s main riff, it is a song that’s also very entertaining, always having something unexpected to offer.
