Heavy Meta kicks off with all the fuzz and yelp of a garage rock re-re-revival, but Gallo's not satisfied with being the next Ty Segall. The second side's long-ringing guitar meanderings reveal dreams of being the next Kurt Vile, too. In between, some Jack White-worthy swings of well-structured slow-motion take hold.
All good things, but this space is well-tilled in 2017; Gallo's gotta find another gear if he's going to get my attention. The best moments are the flashes of deadpan punk resignation - 'why do you have kids?' - 'all that I said was nothing' - and ironically, his best and most memorable sequence, closing out the album begins with 'I will be forgotten in two generations...' Maybe, maybe not 3.5/5
