  In Music We Trust - Baptist Generals, The: Void Touching Faster Victuals
Off-key vocals that don't play well when stripped down to light supplementation behind an acoustic guitar and standard indie-blues-rock, The Baptist Generals' two faces are neither compelling nor original.
These four songs are fun, but that's about as far as they go, losing their value after a few listens.
A teaser for the full-length, No Silver/No Gold, to be released soon, I see The Baptist Generals going one of two ways.

  Baptist History Speaks to Contemporary Issues (Special Baptist Heritage Series)
The original Baptists in the first decade of the seventeenth century defended the equality of each member of the body of Christ against the historic claims of clergy privilege made by the bishop led Anglican Church.
The Philadelphia Baptist Association’s 1742 Confession, for example, harking back to the ordination article of Congregationalist’s 1658 Savoy Declaration, describes Baptist ordination in a form familiar to us Baptists two and a half centuries later: Christ-called, Spirit-gifted pastors and deacons chosen by church vote and set apart by prayer and the laying on of hands.
Ordination for Baptists is a service of thanksgiving for God’s love revealed in the minister’s calling, a service of petition for God’s continued blessing upon the one called, and a service of submission to God’s authority revealed in the gifted one set aside for ministry.

If the Baptist Generals are as genuine as their music sounds, then perhaps I was wrong, and Denton is a town where people beat your soul down and cut you good.
The Baptist Generals, one of Denton's musical mainstay oddities, is the band instilling this sense of exploratory urgency in me...
By contrast, the Baptist Generals stir up a flailing clatter that reeks of absolute conviction; there is not a wink to be found in these Denton, Texas musical primitives' fierce, blunt songs.

Denton, TX’s Baptist Generals make music for people who hate to be asked, "What kind of music do you listen to?" They are as difficult to categorize as the tastes of any real music lover.
Chris Flemmons writes and sings heartfelt, poetic lyrics and plays the acoustic guitar, but The Baptist Generals are a far cry from folk music.
The Baptist Generals are from Texas, damn it, a state that gave us everyone from Steve Earle and Townes Van Zandt to Roky Erickson and The Butthole Surfers, so they sure as hell ain't gonna sound like anyone else.

The Baptist Generals of Denton Texas are purveyors of some of the scariest acoustic guitar mangling you're likely to hear.
Main General Chris Flemmons plays the acoustic guitar the way it was meant to be played: like a motherfuckin' drum.
Generally, the lo-fi production does nothing to obscure any of this and the highlights as they are are "Alcohol (Turn and Fall)" and the opening track with its mad, sudden stop ending in profanities and God knows what is being destroyed.

 The Daily Texan
The Baptist Generals, signed to SubPop's roster last fall, will be making their SXSW debut this year.
Like the rest of the bands in the showcase, the Baptist Generals' music is hard to characterize, even for Chris Flemmons, the band's lead singer.
It was their first release, 2000's EP Dog, a lo-fi acoustic affair, which put them in the alt-country camp, though the description doesn't really work for the band or for alt-country audiences.

 DECORPORATED - Celebration   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Here's a little history: first came the unhinged punk expressionism of Jaks, which Katrina now describes as "kind of a spastic mess-induced rock band -- it was really fun and exciting and all about being violent".
Jaks also saw Katrina starting to explore the possibilities of her own vocal chords ("I wanted to sound like a man", she says) -- an exploration that has led to the spellbinding range and force of her performances with Celebration.
He plays all the music except the drums -- a feat he manages live as well as in the studio -- and from his armory of organs, electric keyboards and Moog bass pedals he summons a unique, dense, swirling sound, muscular but completely involving.

 Opus // Music Reviews // The Baptist Generals - Void Touching Faster Victuals
The music and the recordings sound as if they were lifted straight from some obscure collection of field recordings from the 20s and 30s, with all the degradation and tape decay left gloriously uncorrected.
This is country-folk music fresh from the fields, still crusted in dirt and sweat from a day's hard work and absolutely refusing to get all cleaned up to suit the demands of MTV.
Lyrically, the Baptist Generals seem lifted from another era as well.

 The Baptist Generals Album Reviews
Texas’ The Baptist Generals sound as unique as they’re hard to pin down.
As argued before, it might take a while before these songs give away their secrets, but when they do, the pay-off is rewarding.
Occasionally (during "Preservatine," for instance), it makes sense The Generals are from the city that also gave us Centro-matic / South San Gabriel, or that they're sometimes compared to lo-fi pop heroes Guided by Voices, but usually, they're even more Woody Guthrie, idiosyncratic believers driven by the flame.

 Kiki's Magical Music Reviews: Centro-matic/ The Baptist Generals/ Jimmy’s Comet; March 9, 2005; The King Club
Middle band The Baptist Generals made an immediate impression when the bassist took the stage carrying a guitaron.
I guess Denton TX (hometown to both the Generals and Centro-matic) is a lot closer to the border than Madison.
As a ridiculously generous thanks for a place to stay that night they left me their last full length Love You Just the Same, the more recent EP Flashes and Cables, and the new South San Gabriel (not out till April 5), a record so heartbreakingly gorgeous it threatens to do just that.

 Ink 19 :: The Baptist Generals   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Lead singer Chris Flemmons' violent reaction to the interruption -- a little too venomous to be funny -- is enough to completely overshadow the preceding track.
Not to worry, though, because as it stands, The Baptist Generals seem to have nailed the art of annoying non-songs, devoid of soul or structure (not really conducive to mood-building, and able to be overshadowed by almost anything).
Things don't improve much at the album progresses, although at least the introduction of percussion makes sure that the group don't just stop and wallow for elasticated periods of time.

 Baptist Generals: Dog Aversion.com Review
Blunt and unforgiving, the Baptist Generals make no bones about their country leanings, offering an EP relying exclusively on its backwoods charm to succeed.
Had the Baptist Generals started from a relatively friendly position with this record, its shortcomings would prove trifling.
Too scattered on album, the Baptist Generals fail to escape the constraints of recording on Dog.

The Baptist Generals sound like they've been on a three-day bender, and apparently, when they haven't immersed themselves in liquor, they have immersed themselves in Tom Waits records.
Putting a modern take on the folk-blues the way Califone put a modern take on bluegrass, The Baptist Generals embrace a back-porch feel, though in their world, back-porch doesn't mean laid-back.
For the record, The Baptist Generals' back porch is located in Denton, Tex., and like many artists from Texas, they are a genre unto themselves.

 The Spectrum Online:
The Baptist Generals opened up for Jesse Malin and Centro-matic Thursday at Nietzsche’s, located at 248 Allen St. in Buffalo.
Though the crowd had thinned between The Baptist Generals' opening song and after Jesse Malin's humor-filled, two-person acoustic show, those who remained to hear Centro-matic perform were certainly not disappointed.
Erupting into song, the band had a Flaming Lips feel, though it seems that the men of Centro-matic are more in tune with their instruments than their counterparts.

This kind of contradiction, between joy and self-destruction, is a large part of the music of the Baptist Generals, a band from Denton.
GBV is an obvious influence on the Generals, but there are some different elements at work here, as well as some different demons.
If there is a problem here, it’s the GBV comparisons, which are, honestly, difficult to entirely forget during the album’s course.

If what actually arrives doesn't match what you were hoping for, it tends to be met with a sigh and a gradual slide in obscurity.
Such is the case with the new Baptist Generals record.

It's hard not to giggle a little bit at the end of "Ay Distress," the opening track from the Baptist Generals' No Silver/No Gold.
The moment perfectly articulates the Baptist Generals' volatile approach: Just when you're vulnerable to the music that's speaking to the rawest part of you, it gets aggressive and makes you damned uncomfortable.
Throughout the record, the listener is taken from one emotional extreme to the other, from calming serenity to raging aggression, much like spending an evening with your most dramatic drinking buddy and watching him go from cheery to belligerent to weepy and, finally, barely conscious.
