Here it is 2005 and I'm just now being able to check out this band??? This disc rocks from beginning to end!! Reminds me of a mix from the best stuff from AC/DC and Krokus...minus the BS "power ballads"! Not one track disappoints...

ANOTHER GREAT RELEASE FROM DIRTY LOOKS! LOVE DEAD WHITE AND BLUE, KILLING TIME, MY SHALLOW GRAVE ( SLOWER? NAH THIS

ONE IS HEAVY AND ONE OF MY FAVORITES. ALONG WITH LAST CIGARETTE. IF YOU LOVE DIRTY LOOKS YOU HAVE TO HAVE CHEWING ON THE BIT. IT JUST AINT RIGHT ! IF YOU LISTEN TO ME YOU WOULD HAVE ALL THE DIRTY LOOKS AS I DO. JUST PLAIN OLE BUTT KICKING ROCK N ROLL. I GET MY KICKS OUT OF THE YOUNGER GENERATION HEARING DIRTY LOOKS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WONDERING

WHERE HAS THIS BEEN? DAMN PITY THEY CANT FIND THIS STUFF IN THEIR LOCAL MUSIC STORES. OPEN UP THE VAULTS AND LET THE

ROCK AND ROLL FLOW AT MORE AFFORDABLE PRICES. CHECK OUT DIRTY LOOKS VIDEO FROM THE HEAD BANGERS BALL ON YOUTUBE "NOBODY RIDES FOR FREE" FROM THE TURN OF THE SCREW ALBUM AND SEE WHAT YOUR MISSING. IM THE TNROCDOC AND I GUARANTEE YOULL LIKE IT.

Here is the deal straight up. This is a very solid release but it is not one of Dirty Looks best. Certainly you must buy Cool From The Wire, Turn Of The Screw and Five Easy Pieces before you purchase this one. However, if you are a fan of the band you also can't be without this release. Songs like Love Train, My Way, Trip The Light and even the slower track My Shallow Grave are well worth a purchase and the other tunes are good, just not classic.

For me, I prefer the newer albums Slave To The Machine (2000) and Gasoline (2007) over this one because if I want to hear the older style Dirty Looks I am most likely going to reach for one of their classics whereas the new ones bring something fresh to the table while still holding true to Dirty Looks.

I give Chewing On The Bit 3.5 to 4.0 stars on a 5 star rating. It's definitely not more than 4.0 even if you are a big Dirty Looks fan.
