Get over it, and turn this sh*t up, May 2, 2006
This review is from: The Datsuns (Audio CD)
You like rock? Do you like drinking alcohol? Do you think highly of yourself, despite your A**holish characterstics? Buy this album.
This is frankly a momentous work. These are honest, hard-working musicians. they like rock n roll music, so they play it, and they play it well. The last track "Freeze Sucka" is frankly historic in its composition and chaotic tone. "Fink for the man" "At Your Touch" "What Would I Know". . . . . .hell, every song rules. They are tools for rocking, so take them in your fist, and use them. They are strong, heavy songs and they get the job done.
The recording is loose and unsupervised. The energy is genuine, and it is obvious that the Datsuns are inviting you in to play. If you aren't down with their cause, then you're outta luck.
AC/DC ripoff? Led Zeppelin ripoff? Whatever, it sounds genuine and fantastic, and that's all that matters in rock. These fellows aren't trying to top anyone, they're just making the only music they feel right making, and it rules! Get hip, get over it and get down with an honest-to-goodness rock n roll band.

Solid Rock N Roll Fury, August 21, 2005
This review is from: The Datsuns (Audio CD)
The Datsuns rip right into their debut album with a lot of ferocity, but at the same time the music has an abandoned glee that makes it the kind of music you want to go drag racing or get into a bar fight to, just for the hell of it.
It's one of those albums I didn't take a shine to outright. I listened to it twice a few months ago when I got it, then recently gave it another go and WOW, this album is simply terrific.
Sure, it's got a 70's retro vibe fueled with some riffs that might make Lars Ullrich proud, but although THE DATSUNS may share a genre with some of its predessessors and contemporaries, it's certainly not deriviative of them or "trying to be" (as one of the truly adolescent reviews on this site suggests) anything but rough and tumble rock and roll
