Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox album Шаблон:Album ratings Full Blown Possession is the fifth and last full-length album by Memphis indie rock band The Grifters, released in 1997.[1]

Production

The band recorded five of the album's songs at Sun Studios, in Memphis, Tennessee.[2] The album was produced by Doug Easley, Davis McCain, John Neil Martin and the band.[3]

Critical reception

The Memphis Flyer wrote that "the record includes most of the hallmarks of the band's sound -- like driving, chuka-chuka bass lines, tantalizing leads lurking just beneath the surface, and their distinctive staggering tempos."[4] The Washington Post wrote: "Although not as broken-down and freaked-out as the band's apparent model, Alex Chilton's Like Flies on Sherbert, the album is ramshackle and atmospheric just as often as it's hot-blooded and direct."[2] The Chicago Reader wrote that "the Grifters place their bets solidly on jagged pop hooks, off-kilter blues structures, and keen dynamics--much like the Rolling Stones of yore."[5]

The Chicago Tribune called the album "excellent" and "a no-nonsense uppercut of venomous Memphis R&B and darkly melodic rock that'll leave you drinking through a straw."[6] The Austin Chronicle wrote that the band sticks "to what they know: a world that's slightly spooky and more than a bit seedy, where rough-edged riffs weave together with a disconcerting delicacy and singer Scott Taylor's eloquent trash talk."[7] CMJ New Music Monthly thought that "other rock bands may play the blues, but the Grifters really mess with it."[8]
