Rated 4/10

I don't know what that was or why there was so much of it. Every time I thought I was starting to enjoy the album it reminded me that I did not.

Rated 6/10

Orange and Acme are probably better. Wettest I've ever been was after a Blues Explosion gig.

Rated 6/10

Not as strong as Orange and a bit one-note overall, but the good stuff is cool.

3.5/5

Rated 4/10

I knew the (Jon Davis) Folk Implosion was jokingly named after these guys but never heard them before. Blues isn't my thing but this is more punk rock blues I guess. It's noisy. I see the Elvis singing White Stripes comparisons people are making for sure.

Rated 8/10

A very weird garage rock album. I didn't hate this, aside from the opening screams, but I don't know that I liked it, either. The songs are short and kind of pass by you, and the vocals are very garagey. Either way, this isn't blues music.

Rated 2/10

Unbearable listen

Rated 4/10

Already negatively inclined towards this because Ozzy Osbourne died yesterday and this wasn’t a Black Sabbath record. Noisy white boy blues. Gets old fast.

Rated 4/10

Very noisy and a little bit chaotic. I didn't find it to be the most enjoyable.

high 2/5

Rated 2/10

What the fuck is this. From the beginning, i just despise it. Just sloppy drunken jamming and that's it.

Rated 4/10

Okay, it really grates on the ears. But it's also quite interesting. The further I got into the album, the less I liked it. In the end, I gave up. I won't listen to it again. 2/5

Rated 6/10

Beware the jumpscare when you put this album on!! I was using headphones and nearly shat myself

I actually weirdly enjoyed this album on the whole. It loses a star though for the terrible screaming and weird noises. The last song was like nails on a chalkboard

3 ⭐️

Rated 4/10

Voy a escuchar solo los 16 temas del álbum original. Este grupo/autor siempre rondando lo que se supone que me debería gustar, pero nunca le he cogido el punto. Aburrido e insufrible. 2 estrellas.

Rated 4/10

Reading the reviews before listening (don't recommend doing this) made me think I would hate this. The opening of the first song starts with some screaming which I did in fact hate. However, the album itself is fine. Sounds kinda like Jack White to me. My biggest issue really is the length. It really doesn't deserve 1 hour and 19 minutes. If it was half that time, it'd be a 3 but I have to mark it down for being pointlessly long. The best song is 'Get With It' which sounds like Elvis singing whilst reversing a HGV.

Rated 4/10

certainly a strange album even the album layout is strange

Rated 10/10

Uniquely affronting, and musically arresting, without being gross or shock jockying

Rated 1/10

While this is probably an "artistic choice", but making your music (album?) sound like it was recorded in the 1940s is a weird one.

Especially when the distortions are then very apparent which just makes it sound cacophonous.

Not my thing...

Rated 6/10

Hyvällä asenteella tehtyä räminää, mutta vähän meinasi mennä kikkailun puolelle. 3/5

Rated 6/10

Oh wow, this is an album I'd put on if I had to explain what Gen X was like back in the nineties to modern kids.

I'm an elder Millennial with a Gen X husband, I've got a definite soft spot for a portion of that cohort, but I feel like I'm just a bit too young to truly appreciate this... drunken jam session? That's what it sounds like, anyway.

Rated 4/10

Feeling a bit attacked after this. I don't normally like un-exploded blues that much, so this was a bit of a slog in places. There are a few interesting songs on it, but at it's worst it sounds like a band being deliberately obtuse. Still though, at least they made me feel something, which is more than can be said for a lot of these albums.

Rated 4/10

The ingredients are there, I like the messy production, the barely audible vocals and the screeching guitar. However, it never really amounts to a proper song here. There's a lot of creative ideas but they all exist in a vacuum, they don't interact with each other and as a result its not very cohesive and the songs feel more like throw away demos.
