Editorial Reviews

The highly anticipated debut features Hank III who wrote, performed and produced everything on the record. The self-titled album personifies the split in the psyche of the singer/guitarist/songwriter/producer who last year released the psych-country album Damn Right, Rebel Proud.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get the Point, August 6, 2009

This album is NOT supposed to be a alternative country album. It is simply metal through and through. The Assjack band is Hanks metal output. Anyone buying this album should expect nothing else. An artist is free to express themselves in many ways and not always the ways we expect. Thats what they do. As an album it is excellent for its genre. If you like hard rock/metal dont think twice about getting it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the Hank III That You're Used To, August 4, 2009

But thats not necessarily a bad thing. This is a lot heavier than the Hank III most people are used to. This is also not an outlaw country album. It is hard to classify but the closest I can come is metal or stoner rock. If you're looking for the Hank III that you're used to he's not here (but it is the same guy). If you have heard the Assjack bootlegs that have been floating around for a while, than you know what you're looking at here. Also, if you've seen Hank III in concert, than this is the band he comes out and does the second half of the show with. If you are into, Assjack or stoner metal than this is a pretty good album. You get the stoner metal sound but with Hank's song writing ability, which is phonomenal. If you've only heard Hank III, and you're looking at this album, just preview the tracks (right here on Amazon) before you pick it up. If you know Assjack or are into a heavy sound, than pick this album up right away. This album is a great represnetation of the other side of Hank III.

5.0 out of 5 stars As Expected!!!!, August 16, 2009

I got into Hank 3's music a few years back and I haven't been let down. He definetely doesn't water down any of his material. This album (to me) doesn't sound anything like any of his previous works. This is not a country album by any means. The best way I could describe it is "In Your Face" hardcore presented in a style that only Hank 3 could deliver and nothing less!!!
