It’s 53 years since proto-punkers MC5 released anything. Now, on the eve of their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, they’re back with one final provocation. Tracks like “The Edge Of The Switchblade,” and “Boys Who Play With Matches” are as polemical and explosive as ever.
Founding member Wayne Kramer didn’t survive to see the project through, so it’s fitting that players who credit them as an influence, including Slash, Vernon Reid, and Tom Morello, helped finish the album.
