4.0 out of 5 stars Heavy groovin' rawk, March 17, 2003

By	Tomas Ricardo "thom-22" (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews

Uh, yeah, this stuff will get you goin'. Fuzzed out loud guitar riffs, Sabbath style, but no doom. This is So-Cal Desert bliss. Cars, speed, and... well... other stuff. It's almost all uptempo, a few pychedelic touches here and there, and way catchy, if you think that heavy earthmoving equipment can be catchy. And did I mention the killer drumming? The cool 'n sleazy fuzz guitar leads? Ah, man, just perfect.

There are two divisions in the Fu story, Mark i and 2. This is the best album of early, Mark 1 material. Just about every song is good; the band sounds fresh and excited. Their next album, In Search Of, marks the end of Fu Mark 1, as a couple guys split to form Nebula afterwards. In Search Of sounds a little down; you can tell that they stopped having fun together. Unlike this album, which is a blast nonstop! After the split, The Action is Go probably gets the nudge as the best, though King of the Road is really good, too. Maybe a little too much compression sometimes, though.

Daredevil and Action are the two best, IMHO, but this one has more lead guitar and that young, raw feel. Action is a little more polished, but has more moods and some different grooves. So there you have it. Buy this and play *really* loud!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great One!, June 3, 2000

By	"astrojazz" (Brookhaven, MS United States) - See all my reviews

This album does not get old. It's just awesome, groovin' rock and roll. This one rivals the almighty In Search Of.., and yes this one came out first. Check this one out!
