back to basics
Back to fundamental principles, as in The plans are much too elaborate; to stay in our budget we have to get back to basics. At first this term was used mainly for schooling that stresses proficiency in reading, writing, and mathematics (also see three R's), but it quickly was transferred to other areas. [1970s]

Review
A solo album by the lead guitarist of thrash metallers Nuclear Assault, Back to Basics belies its title by being downright artsy in its blend of declaimed vocals, whiplash speed and tempo changes, and unorthodox song structures. The daffy spoken word and sound effects "Intro" kicks things off on a light note, and there's a sense of fun to the entire album. More importantly, however, it absolutely shreds. There's nothing here for the hair metal namby-pamby; commercial hooks and conventional melodies are largely abandoned in favor of non-stop riffage. The brief, compact tunes are basically just setups for Connelly's powerful solos and vocals, though his bandmates match his playing and energy levels. Allan Holdsworth fans especially should check this out. ~ Stewart Mason, Rovi| Back to Basics (1983 Album by The Reddings) | |
