Pretty reckless - Death by Rock n Roll
bringing the trip full circle, the pretty reckless joined forces with matt cameron and kim thayil for “only love can save me now.
” tracked at the legendary london bridge studio in seattle, it marked the first time matt and kim recorded at the space since soundgarden’s louder than love. nearing the six-minute mark, it trudges through detuned bliss and an offkilter time signature before kim conjures a slippery psychedelic solo as taylor admits, “i want to be saved from the sound,” over matt’s percussive wizardry. “lyrically, it goes with the world now,” taylor adds. “it references what we’re all going through.” elsewhere, rage against the machine and audioslave guitarist tom morello lends his axe to the rambunctious and raucous “and so it went.” then, there’s “25.” her gravelly timbre quakes above an ominous funereal march and echoes of strings. she screams, “at 25, all hope has died and the glass of my intentions turns to sand…shatters in my hand.” meanwhile, “got so high” bleeds into a heavenly stoned refrain as an acoustic guitar rings out. after the nostalgic “rock and roll heaven,” the record sails off to valhalla on “harley darling” ushered along by harmonica, the sound of an engine revving and a devilish dedication as she sings, “oh, harley darling, you took my friend, you took everything and now i’m alone again.”
