     More than most outside the city would have realized in the early '90s,
     Seattle's music scene was all over the place, as this delightfully brash
     and fun debut album shows. Like a more punk-edged Cheap Trick (though
     certainly Willoughby can't measure up to Robin Zander's amazing pipes, but
     has a good set of his own), Flop takes pop hooks and loud riffs to the
     masses with good humor and energetic playing. With production mostly by
     Young Fresh Fellows/Fastbacks guru Kurt Bloch, who obviously knew a good
     time when he saw it, Mopsqueezer skips from one highlight to the next.
     Including the Kinks' "Big Sky" as a cover choice is actually a touch
     misleading -- Village Green Preservation Society this isn't, either as a
     concept or as quite so mannered a style, though it's still a fine romp
     through a solid Ray Davies number that's not out of place. There's as much
     metal riffing as melody at play on Mopsqueezer, it's just that the latter
     always keeps the former in check. Johnson is the secret weapon of the band,
     both a good timekeeper and able to fire in some sly flash here and there
     without stealing the show. Check out his steady, solid punch on the heavy
     groove of "Morton the Venereologist" or the galloping rhythms on "Ugly Girl
     Lover" and "Parasite" (not a Kiss cover). As a guitar team, Willoughby and
     Campbell give out all the chunky feedback one could want without sounding
     at all like they want to be new Pearl Jam members, even pulling off some
     great psych guitar squalls on "Asthenia." Certain Willoughby himself sounds
     far too open and cheerful to stereotype, even when some songs can obliquely
     address deeper subjects than expected. Certainly most grunge-gloom mongers
     wouldn't include the varying speed fragment "You Would Be Right" just for
     kicks.
