5.0 out of 5 stars An INCREDIBLE follow up to a garage classic!!!!!!!, November 18, 2003

By A Customer

I had my worries that the Dirtbombs couldn't possibley follow up their classic "Ultraglide In Black" album, but my fears were washed away upon my first spin of "Dangerous Magical Noise". Where the last album was all covers of old soul songs this baby is originals, yet all the soul and passion is still in place. At times this album rocks harder than the last and has more of a Detroit rock style bombast (i.e. Stooges, MC5 style) and at times it recalls 70's glam rock ("Motor City Baby" is a real nod to T.Rex). Mick Collins proves once again that he has one of the most golden throats in all of rock music yet again too...I could listen to this guy sing the phone book. I love this band and I love this album - my pick for album of the year thus far!

5.0 out of 5 stars Album of the Year?, December 11, 2003

By A Customer

Mick Collins and Jim Diamond are back with an album full of originals. This got SOUL and some Glam and a lot of RnR, and finally it seems like Mick Collins is on the verge of a breakthrough into larger audiences - he deserves it! Live the Dirtbombs are incredible, but they manage to capture most of their intensity on record, to.

4.0 out of 5 stars Steal it back, November 24, 2003

By	Roy Pearl (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews

This Detroit band boasts an unorthodox line-up: two drummers, two bass guitarists, and alpha male Mick Collins on guitar and vox. Bottom heavy? Well, yeh. And yeah! The minute and a half opener "Start the Party" sounds like an outtake from MC5's "Kick Out the Jams", off the rails with guitar fuzz, Collins' out-of-breath falsetto, and tacked-on crowd screech. From then on it's a mix of rough soul, guitar boogie, and scuzzy noise. "Sun is Shining" sounds like Hendrix fronting the Troggs, "Motor City Baby" is Gary Glitter mated with T.Rex, while "I'm Through With White Girls" could almost exist on an Otis Redding album. Diverse, cacophonous, chaotic - definitely not for the faint of heart. Plus the first 2,000 CDs sold come with two bonus tracks of their versions of Eno's "King's Lead Hat" and Robyn Hitchcock's "Executioner of Love". And it's the Dirtbombs, so the first 2,000 CDs sold means, like, all of them.
