5.0 out of 5 stars I got the BUG!, August 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Big Beat From Badsville (Audio CD)

The BUG is back again! This is the best Cramps album since 1985's A Date With Elvis! Usually the Cramps put most of their best songs up front, so the album kinda runs out of gas. But this one comes back and pimp slaps you upside the head all over again! Loaded with great songs... I mean don't you want to know what Lux considers a "Wet Nightmare"? I only wish he'd come out with a lingerie line for men so I could look as sharp as him when I'm vacuuming the apartment. If you've felt somewhat let down by the last few, this one will reaffirm your faith in the almighty power of The Cramps, the funnest band on earth. Just put this one in your Discman and try walking normal.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cramped out, January 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Big Beat From Badsville (Audio CD)

I'm convinced that the Cramps are undead -- they really don't age, and they claw themselves out of the grave every couple of years to release another weird album. This album is pretty much the same as their previous few -- very good in places, but uneven. About half the songs are good, but the other half sound tired and wasted. The Cramps were a little better when they sang more monster songs and strange covers and less deviant sex songs, but nevertheless they can still be witty and entertaining. "It Thing Hard On", "Like a Bad Girl Should", and "Wet Nightmare" are funny enough tunes to justify buying this record if you're a Cramps fan and want to keep your collection complete. However, if you're just getting into it you might want to buy some of their earlier stuff before trying this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cramps - 'Big Beat From Badsville' (Epitaph), January 29, 2005

Looks like 'Big Beat...' is the Cramp's tenth album,for it's very similar to it's predecessor 'Flamejob'.I've always liked this band for several reasons.What the new/old fan gets here is timeless psychobilly from a punk ensemble that first showed it's ugly face during the new wave music era,being the late '70's.One thing about the Cramps is,they change very little.Which in this case is a good thing.Tunes here I liked best were the in-your-face opener "Cramp Stomp","Sheena's In A Goth Gang","Queen Of Pain","Super Goo" and "Wet Nightmare".The tracks here seem to refer to subjects like violence,leather straps,old horror flicks and rough sex,as usual.Couldn't speak for anyone else,but I have no complaints here.A very decent CD.
