시애틀 그런지의 산 역사이자 가장 좌충우둘의 펑크 개러지를 들려주었던 Mudhoney는 1988년에 결성된 벌써 15년을 훌쩍 넘긴 중견 밴드이다. 그런지의 내파 이후 아직도 그런지밴드가 하는 놀라움을 표하는 사람도 있겠지만 Mudhoney는 여타의 그런지 밴드와는 다른 지금의 새로운 트랜드인 개러지밴드로 불려도 하나 손색없는 음악을 들려주고 있다. 2002년 신보인 [Since We`ve Become Traslucent]는 예전만큼이 에너지는 사라졌어도, 예전만큼의 악동기질이 거세되었다 해도, 충분히 매력적인, 밴드 음악적으론 터닝포인트와 같은 음반이다. 첫 곡과 마지막 곡의 칠팔분대를 훌쩍 뛰어넘는 대곡을 배치하는 진중함을 보이는 그들의 또 다른 역작. .... ....
Baby, can you dig the light? This is the end of the tunnel I always heard there'd be some sort of light I finally reached the end of the tunnel I always thought I'd see some kind of light I want Where is the light?
And there is no light Where is the light? I always hoped there'd be light I want the light
Sowin' the seeds of discontentment Spillin' milk all over your misspent youth Nurture your crop with blind resentment All your cryin' can't change the truth
The straight life, baby, has taken its toll Confiined your mind and stolen your soul
Your shit don't stink now that you're livin' the straight life Lookin' so cute in that grown-up's suit Chasin' down all your lost and wasted time You don't care who the fuck you screw
The straight life, baby, has taken its toll Confiined your mind and stolen your soul
You reap just what you sow If you reap anything at all I let my wild weeds grow I hope they choke your rotten crop
The straight life, baby, has taken its Toll Confiined your mind and stolen your soul
You look good, as a matter of fact You'd look great in a giant vat You look good enough to eat Stomping grapes up to your knees
I'll drink the wine squeezed from your vines 'Till I'm much too drunk to speak And I won't stop 'till we're partners in crime
Come to where the flavor is Grinning wide with purple teeth I wanna come Come to where the flavor is To where the flavor is I understand why the Earth quakes And tries to open up You leave a taste with every step you take But for this world that ain't enough
Come to where the flavor is
Come to where the flavor is Looking in your eyes I get mesmerized I wanna come Wider than the oceans New horizons open C'mon baby, let me take a bite You know you make me feel all right
You look good, that's a matter of truth Yes you're quite the toothsome treat You taste great, with or without fruit
I'm gonna start down at your feet Come to where the flavor is Come to where the flavor is I'm gonna come To where the flavor is
Our time is coming Here comes our time Our time is now This is our time
They say that time is tight Well, we're tight too Yeah, we know just what we gotta do They say that times are tough They're flying down below They're crawling overhead

When the big picture makes you feel small And your good friends are good for nothing at all
Don't pretend that it's not your fault You gotta take it like a man When you lash out against society And your cell-mate says, "You belong to me" Take it like a man You gotta take it like a man Take it like a man And find yourself in penetentiary
When you can't make your prick get hard
Once you realize that you're not in charge It makes your codpiece feel a little too large You gotta fake it like a man Fake it like a man
When your big-ass truck keeps on breaking down You wanna holler but you can't make a sound And your big-barreled gun misfires every round Take it like a manYou gotta take it like a man
Going in to the smallest center And peel away every layer Just to look it deep in the eye Going out to the deepest space 'Till there's no place left to hide Just to fill it with my breath The fact that there's no vacuum left The stars and I will celebrate I walk, I walk, yeah I walk the crooked and wide Don't care if it's wrong
Don't care if it's right Gonna turn every corner Yeah, I know I'm going n circles Just to see what's around the bend
I'm in no hurry to get to the end
Don't care if it's wrong Don't care if it's right You can keep the straight and narrow
I walk, I walk, yeah I walk the crooked and wide I won't take that well-worn path Just the thought bores me to the marrow
Don't care if it's wrong I don't care about no-one's wrath I walk, I walk, yeah I walk the crooked and wideDon't care if it's right
Don't hand me that line about Transubstantiation I'm not buyin' and I'm running out of patience
I can't afford to believe your kind of Truth Redirecting energies, I'm a shaker, I'm a mover The Truth is plain to see, I'm a Sonic Transducer There aint nothing, no, I won't misuse
We can turn the tide with The time is right for Sonic Infusion Sonic Infusion It aint too late to make 'em sing Permeate everything Sonic Infusion Penetrate and pull the strings
They think we don't exist since we've become Translucent
They feel just what they miss and it adds to their confusion They can't afford to believe our kind of Truth
Hidden from our enemies, intercepting their Transmissions There ain't nothing, No, we won't misuse Rewriting History, transmitting our revisions
We can turn the tide with The time is right for Sonic Infusion Permeate everything Sonic Infusion Sonic InfusionPenetrate and pull the strings It aint too late to make 'em sing
