If you feel the specter of the Doors in parts of the (International) Noise Conspiracy's fourth album, you're not having a flashback. The politically conscious Swedish quartet recorded "Calling" at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, where Jim Morrison and company did most of their landmark work. T(I)NC were only too happy to slip a very familiar-sounding keyboard solo into "Child of God" and end the album with a nod to the Doors' epic "When the Music's Over." But the ghosts of rock past hardly subsume the set. With Rick Rubin polishing the group's garage rock approach into a sharper aural attack, T(I)NC dishes out such heady anthems as "Assassination of Myself," "I Am the Dynamite" and "Storm the Gates of Beverly Hills"; finds its funk in "Arm Yourself"; and slips into soul mode on "Satan Made the Deal." —Gary Graff
