Another record with
LeBlanc taking top billing, this is yet another exercise in
Sherwood's wildly original
Tackhead "empire." Unlike
Major Malfunction, this is a little more restrained, but with people like
Gary Clail and
Sherwood involved, easy listening this ain't.
LeBlanc gets all the writing credits, and he's done a great job of coming up with a challenging assortment of material. At times fiery and polemical, at others unhinged and dadaesque, Stranger than Fiction is another interesting, at times compelling work from this unique musical collective.
