    This week's naked emperors return after a welcome decade-plus of silence until the next train wreck comes along, and we get to see and hear what John Doe and Exene would have been like if they'd taken heroin every two days from the age of 10 to now. It's not hard to see why the Trux would put aside their differences for four-point-three seconds to vomit up another half-digested album forThis week's naked emperors return after a welcome decade-plus of silence until the next train wreck comes along, and we get to see and hear what John Doe and Exene would have been like if they'd taken heroin every two days from the age of 10 to now. It's not hard to see why the Trux would put aside their differences for four-point-three seconds to vomit up another half-digested album for the fart-smelling hipster class - after all, junkie's gotta eat. (One extra point for making me shoot beer out my nose when they actually decide to suddenly carry a tune for a few seconds,)… Collapse

    There’s something to be said about the immediacy and the vitality of something as messy and as real as an album like White Stuff. Nothing about what this band is has diminished over time, and White Stuff is a roaring return to right where Royal Trux left off 19 years ago.

    If, after an absence of 19 years, you are happy to engage with a band who are reprising much of their musical and lyrical themes whilst also dipping their toes into unexplored (and poorly realised) terrain, then no doubt there is much within White Stuff which will tick all of the appropriate boxes. But, oh man, that Kool Keith track.

    While fans of Royal Trux's inventiveness might find more of that in Hagerty's and Herrema's solo work, White Stuff is still another entertaining part of a reunion that once seemed impossible.
