Jaws is an incredible movie, with some of the most iconic shots and quotes in all of American cinematic history. Robert Shaw's Quint is an All-Time Classic movie character, and I could watch his monologue about the U.S.S.
Indianapolis daily for the rest of my life. As far as nautically-themed stories go,
Jaws is second to none, and while I beseech Hollywood
not to remake it, the story itself is ripe for inspiration and interpretation. Squalus, the new band made up of 80% of the dearly departed Giant Squid, seemingly agrees, as their debut album
The Great Fish... sees the band apply their post-metal sludgery to the iconic story of Chief Brody, Hooper, and Quint, and the results more than live up to the sizable expectations built by the band's pedigree and source material.
