It's great to hear from these guys, back in the studio and touring again....4 years was too long for the fans who've been around for over a decade and have seen CoC transform and streamline down to the core members. No, this isn't a rehash of Technocracy or Blind and sure isn't a sell out like so many other bands who bridged the 80's and 90's...it's a great progression that just adds to that thick-as-a-slab, mainlined-whiskey with marlboros sound that they've perfected. Good luck to Reed Mullin & a quick recovery from surgery. Can't wait to see you back on stage with Pepper, Mike, and Woody... The Mule Rocks! So doesn't this CD..so buy it!! Hell--buy all their CD's...these guys deserve the royalties --- they influenced most of the bands that people consider "heavy" today.

4.0 out of 5 stars COC...Proving Their Genuis, October 11, 2000

Corrosion of Conformity have always been at the forefront of the changing tide of heavy music, without selling out or losing any of their fire. "America's Volume Dealer," the third offering from the current lineup as it now stands, is no different. Keeping in mind that no two COC albums since "Blind" have sounded quite the same, this latest should be no shock to the loyal fans of these Sabbath sons. Track to track brings boundless energy and drive, while giving nod to everything from their southern heritage with "Stare Too Long," [Warren Haynes is AMAZING], to the party hard nature of the guys in the band, with the up tempo rocker, "Gittin It On." The diehard fans that still see "Deliverance" as the ultimate COC, will love "13 Angels," which, at around 6 1/2 minutes delves deep into the soul, and just may be, lyrically, one of the most moving songs of their career. Hats off to Pepper Keenan, who's scruffy appearance hides the mind and spirit of a true genius. Just as Black Sabbath before them, COC have yet to be fully recognized for their limitless talent and greatness in an otherwise, stale and sometimes, uninspired music industry. Yet, just as has happened with Sabbath, while grossly underrated now, some 20-30 years in the future, some aspiring young musician, will pick up a COC album, just by chance, listen to it, and be blown away by it's timeless perfection and raw energy. It is then, that COC will be appreciated for the masters they are.

It starts with a monster guitar hook and pummels away your senses. The cover art is from a sticker on Black Sabbath's Volume 4 vinyl release, side A. Imagine that spinning at 33rpm.
