"The time is right for sonic infusion"

Since We've Become Translucent is one of those albums that makes you wonder why this wasn't a transition into a new sound. The first and last songs both show Mudhoney displaying some classic Hawkwind influence, but with their own grungy attitude to it. It's intense and fiery space rock with a great horn section on Baby Can You Dig the Light?, and fits in with the sound the band already had.

The rest of the album is pretty standard Mudhoney, so basically The Stooges meets Blue Cheer, with Crooked and Wide being the best of that bunch. However it ends up being slightly disappointing with the strengths of the bookends. They could've evolved into a great space grunge band, but I guess they decided to stick with their old formula.
