While their prior album (Special Wishes) was a mixed bag of moments of genius together with moments of boredom, this album is solid all the way through, and the high points are as good as anything they've ever … While Harvey Milk invariably draws comparisons to the Melvins, due to their penchant for slow, heavy riffs, the band has touched upon such artists as ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, Leonard Cohen, and Kiss as influences in their music. Harvey Milk is an American experimental rock/noise rock band that formed in Athens, Georgia in the early 1990s.
Harvey Milk had become a bruising bar-band, recording unyielding anthems with clenched fists and clear focus. 1945 zog seine Familie nach Bay Shore um, wo Milk 1947 seinen High-School-Abschluss machte. Leaning more towards (relatively) straight-ahead sludge metal, the album feels like the band's later work (Special Wishes, Life...The Best Game in Town), with the emphasis more on the crushing guitars and Creston Spiers’ anguished vocals.
All The Live Long Day Spier's howl well represents their music: it is not only amelodic, it is truly ugly and unbearable.

Mai 1930 in Woodmere im Bundesstaat New York geboren. Harvey Milk wurde am 22. Warm in tone yet still unbelievably raw, Harvey Milk sounds phenomenal, rendering "My Love" surprisingly weak by comparison. All this publication's reviews Granted, we do get a few tracks that do feel like works in progress. Wenn Spiers aber dann mal zu einer Melodie ansetzt und den Song „I alone got up and left“ damit zu einer kleinen Hymne macht oder wenn man von manch fantastischem Riff schlicht geplättet wird, weiß man wieder, was so großartig an HARVEY MILK und ihrem nicht für Normalohren gemachten doomig-bluesigen Noiserock ist. They even went so far as to perform a live show consisting of nothing but …
One of Harvey Milk's finest releases, this album has a bright, confident sheen that manages to be very accessible (to metal fans, anyway) while also being subversively experimental and daring.
