This does sound like he wrote it when he was 8.

In a good way.

Final track - I Fought Piranhas (And the Piranhas Won).

Very very Bluesy.

Slicker drips

Three Blind Mice riff!

I'm not overstating this, but this is culturally insensitive.

Playing very hard and fast and glib with real Blues.

You can do a version, but to play it for cheap laffs.

This guy can do one.

If I had the chance I'd lay one on him.

If I wasn't so short.

St James Infirmary Blues

Is this Cab Calloway?

Seriously out of tune piano.

Didn't he slap someone around once? Or was he slapped around by someone else?

Mind you've I've heard a Von Bondies album…

It is over.

Most of the tracks, if heard in isolation would be perfectly bearable but, when heard, one after the other, they start to become positively obnoxious, lending him an air of someone determined to make a load of noise without ever once asking himself, "Do people actually want to hear this?"

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

Slide geetar.

I shall give it one star.

It is over.

For me. Darn, my slow internet.



Maybe I should have just put the LP on instead.

Basically, it's, "I got a guitar for Christmas. Now I'm going to make you all listen to it."

He's one of those people who looks short in photos but is actually 6'4".

In truth, if I saw him I'd just say something unkind.

Which would be drowned out by the fawning hoards of music journalists and fans with small pears/apricots.

Anyway, I'm going, ★★★

I think most of it squeaked a ★★★★ but it just had about 5 too many songs on it, just get in, hit hard and get out. Stick a slow quiet one on the end.

As I say most people heard the less (relatively) derivative second and third albums first, and it's forgotten now in the wasteland of the early 2000s a group making Blues, if more of a Rhymic style , or heck any rock music that wasn't completely moribund, stale and boring* More BB than Freddie King if you will in 2002 was a refreshing novelty. I liked 'em at the time. A bit.

*Well apart from Limp Bizkit of course.

And anyway, anyone who dosn't like this is a Stevie Ray Vaughan fanboi
