That riff's an instant mod flashpoint on par with "I Can't Explain" or "You Really Got Me", but only in the parallel universe ruled by Max Fischer did this song achieve the same legendary status. What differentiates "Making Time" from its peers is that it trades in teen angst for ennui: Kenny Pickett sings, "Why do we have to carry on/ Always singing the same old song," so after the second chorus guitarist Eddie Phillips obliges him and changes the tune, slashing a violin bow across his fret board-- years before Jimmy Page stole the shtick-- and inverting the song's riff into something far nastier. They may have been called the Creation, but they excelled at the art of destruction. --Stuart Berman |
