The more I hear this CD, the more I absolutely love it.

Musically, the CD rocks hard. I've seen numerous comparisons to The Who in other reviews, but I have trouble hearing the similarities. If you had to place a label on them, group them more along the lines of Faith No More at their balls-out hardest, or perhaps Kings-X on crystal meth. There's a lot more going on here than a simple comparison to a 60's burnout band can imply.

Lyrically, the disc shines with phrases that I just can't seem to get out of my head. I've caught myself working "Having fun with a**holes" and "You're going home in a f***ing ambulance" into casual conversation. Thanks a lot, fellas.

If Motorhead, Queen and The Ramones whipped up a sperm milkshake and spewed it into the womb of Courtney Love, The Giraffes would be the bastard child.

Rock on, Giraffes!

I have been trying to find something that really rocks for a while now. And this is it. This CD simply ROCKS! Forget about all the comparisons with Mountain, Mahogany Rush, etc. Just buy it, turn it up and let it kick your butt!

This album rocks. I don't know what else to say. Damien is an animal when it comes to playing the guitar, Aaron has such killer vocals, The lyrics are truly unique. All around a fantastic Album. In terms of Balls, this album has 3.

I was watching fuel tv and they played a bit of the video for man u. with 2 guys punching each other in the gut (you can play the video on the band's website), and the sound was impressive. Well, the whole CD is impressive. As the other reviewer said, you'll find yourself happily singing along to what could actually be considered some dark lyrics. But they make it sound good. I hear a bit of Fu Manchu and maybe even some Monster Magnet in there, but, basically its rock. Not metal, but good ol' hard rock with some attitude to spare. Best new thing in terms of rock that I've heard in quite some time.
