		Icky Mettle is a jarring, brutal, left-of-center forgotten wonder of early 90's indie rock, an album which contains one of the best rock songs of the decade ("Web In...
		Icky Mettle is a strong contender in the "Best Album You Probably Haven't Heard" sweepstakes.
		Icky Mettle is the only Archers album with which I am familiar but my opinion of it has remained steafast since I bought it 6 years ago.

	Michigan Daily - A decade later, Icky Mettle still an indie-rock milestone
		After Icky Mettle, the polarized their melody/noise dynamic on 1995's excellent Vee Vee, and subsequent albums produced a dense, dark noise burble that failed to resonate with the late 90's scene, but was never anything short of awfully good.
		The band's enduring legacy, however, is Icky Mettle, 37+ minutes of gritty, angular indie rock that is striking in its raw force and hearty melodies.
		Icky Mettle reminded everyone that punk rock filtered through youth and intelligence could still breed brilliance.

	Music : Vee Vee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Archers of Loaf burst onto the indie/college scene in 1993 with the electric "Icky Mettle", receiving critical praise for their efforts.
		I personally think the best Archers of Loaf album was their first, Icky Mettle, and that each one after that was slightly worse than the one before (although i love them all, and wouldn't give any of them lower than 4 stars).
		This album, their 3rd release after Icky Mettle and the GOAT EP, seemed to be a little heavier on the feedback and noise, and s little lighter on catchy melodies.

	CMT.com : Archers of Loaf : Biography
		More rooted in punk and noise rock, however, the Archers took the dissonance, white noise, and angularity to greater extremes, and played with more overt commitment and enthusiasm in concert.
		The Archers became a hip name to drop with their acclaimed 1993 debut, Icky Mettle; several more accomplished albums followed before the group called it quits in 1998.
		Icky Mettle arrived later in the year to highly positive reviews and more alternative-radio airplay, and the Archers supported it with an extensive national tour.

	NotSoPop - Archers of Loaf: Icky Mettle Review
		Icky Mettle is the debut album from a band that most people have never even heard of.
		Shame too, since Archers of Loaf was one of the better "college radio" bands to come out of the early 90's.
		For variety, there's the intentionally funny "Toast," the addictive "Fat," and the scorching "Sick File." Fans of slacker/college rock should give Icky Mettle a try.

		When they first started strangling their guitars in the early ‘90s, the Archers of Loaf were a direct if slightly more dissonant descendent of the prominent indie rock bands of the time, especially Pavement and their Chapel Hill, NC neighbors Superchunk.
		But on Icky Mettle, to an extent, the consistent lyrical themes add to the overall similitude of the songs.

		It was produced and engineered by Caleb Southern at Kraptone Studios in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and released by Alias Records in 1993.
		In a 2005 interview with The Triangle (newspaper), Bachmann reflected on the album rather unpretentiously: "When we first came out we had that energy.

		This is the album that is considered by many to be their most focused musical statement, and, along with a couple Pavement and Guided By Voices songs, easily deserves credit for influencing hundreds of bands across the country.
		As charming as they were, I never especially liked Archers of Loaf - I only listened to Icky Mettle a few times, and never all the way through - but I kept an eye on them anyway.
		This year they have 2 new releases: a collection of b-sides and rarities, The Speed of Cattle, and a full-length album, All The Nations Airports, both of which are out on Alias, the Archers' longtime record label.

		It is entitled: "Icky Thump" and is their first album to include a title track, which curiously (and not ironically) has the same words in it's name.
		Though some residents of northern England might almost recognize the title, The Stripes stress they are spelling it wrong intentionally just for "kicks" and "metaphors", and to avoid a possible lawsuit from the estate of Billy Eckstine.
		'Icky Mettle' is the first studio album recorded by the indie rock band Archers of Loaf.

	Archers dig back into vaults
		It includes a number of great tunes that definitely would have been missed otherwise and serves as an excellent companion to the band's two albums, 1993's Icky Mettle and last year's Vee Vee.
		The Archers of Loaf's distinctive post-hardcore blend, which sounds like a merger between early Replacements and the vocal inflection of the Cure's Robert Smith, more than adequately carries most of the songs on this compilation.
		The five Peel Session tracks, "Smokin Pot in the City," "Mutes in the Steeple," "Revenge," "Freezing Point" and "Backwash" (an alternate version of the one that appears on Icky Mettle) are instant fun.

		But then they go and play a song like "Plumb Line" from their near-perfect debut Icky Mettle and the reasons become crystal clear: Sometimes the Archers affect strategies that in every way oppose the poppiness that their writing seems to fundamentally embody, but they also know when it's time to straighten things out.
		The neglect of Icky Mettle was made up for, however, by the inclusion of such wrongheaded classics as "Audiowhore" and "Lowest Part is Free!" from their Archers of Loaf vs. The Greatest of All Time EP.
		Some of the newer material they showcased seemed more similar to their songs from the EP than Vee Vee, a much-invited step back in the right direction.

	Archers of Loaf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The success of "Web In Front" led to the release of Icky Mettle, their first full album, in 1994.
		"Icky Mettle", with its odd mix of spiky guitar riffs, white noise and tuneful mumbling, was well received and was considered by many critics at the time as being among the top 10 albums of the year.
		In 1994, the Archers released the EP entitled Vs.

		The set list is heavy on material from the band's amazing debut, Icky Mettle, and burns with a noise rock intensity that is more reminiscent of the group's early recordings than later works like White Trash Heroes.
		Highlights include the Icky Mettle hit "Web in Front" and "Fabricoh" from their second studio full-length, Vee Vee.
		Icky Mettle, however, is the lone must-own offering in the Archers of Loaf's oeuvre.

	Archers of Loaf - Icky Mettle Review - sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Iâll admit that Icky Mettle does not show a great deal of diversity but it features just enough to get by without being repetitive.
		Now Iâm not saying that Icky Mettle is any Slanted and Enchanted or Keep it Like A Secret but itâs definitely an album worth your time if youâre into noise-rock or indie-rock since the music is hard rocking, chaotic, fuzzy, compelling, and extremely catchy.
		Although itâs not as structured or melody driven as it could of been Icky Mettle is still an excellent album that any fan of indie music will enjoy.

		What began as just a little noise pop outfit from Chapel Hill North Carolina and wound up being at the top of the college charts until they called it a day.
		Icky Mettle is their proper debut and belongs in any indie music collection.

		Which is not to say these fellows don’t have a gentle side–the grungy semi-ballad “Hate Paste” has a really nice acoustic guitar motif that is flavored by Irish folk and Delta blue strains.
		Those who like the shambling power of the early albums by Buffalo Tom and the aforementioned bands should give ‘Icky Mettle’ a try.

		Fortunately for me, (the shortly-thereafter proud owner of a copy of their debut, “Icky Mettle”), there was no real drop-off in the band’s standard across the rest of the album.
		It is represents some of the early steps of a man, Eric Bachmann, who has gone on to wow us with a different but equally impressive beast in Crooked Fingers.
		Basically, if you do not own a copy of “Icky Mettle”, get one.
