4.0 out of 5 stars Lost opportunity!, July 29, 2006

Ok Tackhead are one of these groups that were probably better live than on record. They had actually supported Mark stewart and Gary Clail on some really great stuff but the records they released as a group never really seemed to gel in some way. The playing is great, the production fantastic but somehow it is too cerebral since they basically also want to be a funk group. The ideas would be plundered by many people later on but somehow I am not really sure why it sounds so cold.

4.0 out of 5 stars good but not excellent, July 25, 2000

This review is from: Friendly As a Hand Grenade (Audio CD)

This album follows the line of other tackhead albums like power inc., it's a very good album but's not as great as "Strange things". If you want to buy an album i recomend to buy S.T first. Although it's very representative of what Tackhead is about: great bass sound, cool efects and a lot of psycodelia and industrial sounds. It' a good album but not enough to get 5 stars. And contains only 10 songs.
