    Better late than never
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2012*

I suppose it speaks to my lack of keeping up these days (years), but I only recently discovered this was out there. Sheer negligence on my part, as I try to keep up with anything Richard Lloyd-related. Oh well, better late than never and, based on only two other reviews here, clearly I must not be alone.In any case, as I understand it, since this was released nearly a year ago, I understand the Lloyd and Cheetah Chrome have both bowed out of subsequent touring and other activities for RFT, so this may end up a sawn song. I hope not, but if so, what a way to go. Rocket Redux was an absolute revelation - searing, soring and a testament to both a great body of songs and the incredible vitality of the gents nearly 30 years on. While the original recordings, as primatively recorded as they were (
  
Day the Earth Met the Rocket From the Tombs







  
  
    ), still sound magical and vital, the new recordings (
  
Rocket Redux







  
  
    ) topped them, not only in sonic quality, but in sheer force and power. Second chance with a vengence.Barfly is not an album with the same MO. It does, instead, harken closer to early Pere Ubu. This is probably not such a surprise since this is, after all, new material. Barfly is not as immediately lapel-shaking, if you will. It is, though, a wonderful record made by a group in complete control of their talents, tendencies and sensibilities. Start to finish, there is not a bum track on the record and at its best (I Sell Soul; Butcherhouse 4; Birthday; Six and Two), this ranks with the finest work of any and all of the involved. Heck, Sister Love Train is so good, they did it twice, in both a Stax horns version and a flat-out rocker version - both are terrific.The sound here is more open and sparse than on Redux. David Thomas' lyrics are closer to the humor of his Ubu work than the late 70's (This is me, sitting on the couch / Don't I look happy?). His voice, too, is a little more weather-beaten, though he can still caterwall when called for. The guitar lines and solos are more angular and pointed, which fits the songs' structures and textures. This IS a rock'n'roll record, to be sure, but certainly not in any rootsy sense.If Barfly does end up being the last we hear of RFT on record, so be it. I hope not, but if so, this is a great bang to go out with. Even if it took me a while to hear it. Point is, I now KEEP hearing, over and over and will do so for a long time.
