Atlanta's Black Lips had released three albums of retro garage rock to little attention before the urban legend of their "anything goes" live show lead to a record deal with "anything sells" imprint Vice. Now that the resulting live document, Los Valientes del Mundo Neuvo, has brought a wider recognition to the band and its infamous gigs, the bar is raised for them to prove that they can provide more than a wild night out. "Veni Vidi Vici," from their Vice studio debut Good Bad Not Evil, stays comfortably in the Lips' sixties zone, but for once the song has no direct correlation from the Nuggets box set. There's less frenzy here than usual, a clockwork guitar loop instead of a sloppy maelstrom. Cole Alexander's hippy mongoloid vocals are high in the mix and more clearly recorded than they've previously been. This step towards professionalism is welcome, but the audibility of the vague religious allusions doesn't grant them any further depth. "I came, I saw, I conquered all," he drawls. Despite signs of creative life, the kids haven't quite earned the credibility to assert dominance in a such a nonchalant manner.
