Boom! is the second album by the Kelley Deal 6000, released in 1997.[1][2] "Brillo Hunt" was the album's first single; the title refers to the practice of using steel wool to filter crack cocaine.[3][4]
Production
The album was produced by Deal, who also cowrote or wrote all of the album's songs.[5][6] It was recorded over a period of two and half weeks in February 1997.[7]
Critical reception
Template:Album reviews Stereo Review wrote that "the sex-rocking 'Shag, the punk-snarling 'Get the Writing Off My Back', and the boom-boom-booming 'Brillo Hunt' are as catchy as anything on Last Splash but more fully arranged."[8] Rolling Stone called Boom! Boom! Boom! "a fun and arty fuck-about of a solo album," writing that "there's a lot of sonic debris here, too: bratty Mouseketeer-like cheers, hokey ditties such as 'Stripper' and arbitrary instrumentation like military snare drums and penny whistles."[9] The Columbus Dispatch concluded: "While several cuts spill over with resonating guitar pop, many ride the fence between full-on heavy metal and numbing alt-rock. While the latter is inoffensive, its impact is ephemeral at best."[10]
The Guardian deemed the album "splenetic punky numbers one minute, lovelorn crooning the next," writing that it "veers between the actually-quite-good and arrant nonsense."[11] The Albuquerque Journal determined that "though most of the 15 songs (like the loosely structured 'Stripper', a sort of poke at the dancing profession, and the drumroll march of 'Total War') are experimental to be sure, there are still a couple of radio-ready pop gems, like the album opener, 'Shag', and 'Confidence Girl'."[12] The Boston Herald remarked that "the odd 'When He Calls Me Kitten' transfixes with a bizarre Ann-Margret-visits-the-Mississippi-Delta-blues vibe."[13] The Plain Dealer thought that "while [Sugar Altar's] lyrics seemed to evade serious issues, [Deal]'s now developing an oblique, personal language to explore them."[14]
