Album Review

Rare is the rock band that can make a strong impression on the listener without the benefit of a vocalist, but Pittsburgh's Don Caballero comes roaring out of the gate on its debut album. The quartet showcases its instrumental wizardry on the opening title cut, a skull-crushing groove monster that finds evocative drummer Damon Che leading the band through a succession of stop-time breaks. The energy builds for the chaotic dissonance of "Chief Sitting Duck," then dissipates on the Slint-like dirge of "New Laws," which shows a subtle mastery of dynamics. Songs like the thundering "Nicked and Liquid," the heavily distorted "Rocco," and the psychotic jamming of "Got a Mile, Got a Mile, Got an Inch" (which reveals the origins of the band's name in an SCTV sketch) reach out and grab you by the c***nes, shaking you around like a rag doll without resorting to headbanger clichés. With Midas-touch production from Steve Albini, For Respect is one of the better instrumental rock records of the early '90s.

Customer Reviews

Don Caballero's BEST !!!!!!
     

Don't listen to what other fans say. FOR RESPECT is Don Caballero's BEST album from beginning to end. It's crazy, and yet it's very catchy and it has lots of fun riffs. If you're new to Don Caballero, this is the album to start with first. CHIEF SITTING DUCK is marvelous!!!

its gotta be 5
     

I agree this is their best album. I doubt that there is another record out there with more powerful and skilled technical drumming. bring on the arguments and examples. p.s. why is what burns never returns not available on itunes?

Sweet
     

This is a great album and a great band across the years. Skilled, creative, and ahead of its time. Their later albums are more refined and polished, I think, but this could be argued as their best album. Also, for drum-lovers like myself, this is a must. It's hard to believe people were doing such mathematical, experimental hard rock back in the early 90's. I mean, I knew about Meshuggah and Cynic, but this is another remarkable example.

However, Rickey, I would contend that, in terms of technicality, Tomas Haake of Meshuggah is the greater drummer, but not by far. Che is perhaps more evocative and "musical," but no one out-drums Haake when it comes to the technical stuff (Wanna bet? Listen to "I" if you haven't already).

Biography

Formed: 1991 in Pittsburgh, PA

Genre: Alternative

Years Active: '90s, '00s

Pittsburgh math rockers Don Caballero were one of the first bands to expand on the work of genre innovators like Bastro, Bitch Magnet, and (especially) Slint. Their music was entirely instrumental, and while their guitar interplay was as complex and dissonant as any of their peers, the real driving force behind their precisely calibrated attack was virtuosic drummer Damon Che. In essence, it was Che's manic explosions and stop-on-a-dime shifts in time signature that mapped out the trail his bandmates...
