5.0 out of 5 stars As Hard As They Wanna Be, April 19, 2004

By	J. Cripps "Hard Rock Aficianado" (Poughquag, New York USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This cd really surprised me! I was totally blown away at how hard these guys can rock! As hard as they rock, they can also play some funky rhythms which makes for a real good listen. This cd is short but it makes you want to hit the replay button on your cd player over and over.

4.0 out of 5 stars The 20 Minute Experience, February 18, 2003

By	"colonyc" (On The Level) - See all my reviews

I think that this is one of UKJ's best Cds. Although there are only a few tracks, and the cd is rather short, I feel that this CD still rocks hard. If you are into good hard rock, then this cd is for you. Songs like 'madman' and 'whiplash liquor' show the listener that rock is one of the greatest types of music we have.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hardly ugly, but hinting at the fun to come, July 11, 2006

By	Paul Lawrence "'EJL'" (Australia) - See all my reviews

An EP that would of been totally forgotten had Everything About You not been a worldwide hard rock hit. So what do we get? Well the hit, obviously, plus Madman which was remixed for the debut full length release and then fou other tracks of varying quality.

Whiplash is a track where Whitfield Crane uses most of his vocal tricks and the song rides a funk rock groove which is totally appropriate for this type of rock. Too Bad is a fairly lacklustre toon and the EP's rounded off w/Sweet Leaf and an upbeat semi jam sort of track, like the band only just had enough material to fill this EP. Oh and the mystery track at the end - mmm 15 seconds of joke tune.

All this is topped off with a low rent band pic and a few suitably juvenile drawings involving the bands cartoon mascot. Not an essential release in anybodys universe. But it has a couple of fun tracks and fans of the band do need this in their collection.
