Editorial Reviews

The Sonics pioneered a punky musical approach predated and conceivably influenced later 3-chord wonders including The Standells, Kinks, Music Machine, Seeds, Blues Magoos, Stooges, et al. Although never blessed with the commercial successes of some of these, The Sonics were undeniably a musical force with lasting impact. The Original Northwest Punkers are currently touring world wide. Their music lives on.

4.0 out of 5 stars it's better than these guys say!, November 11, 2004
By 
Brian G. Foss (seattle, wa United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Maintaining My Cool (Audio CD)
i just wanted to say that while this CD is in no way as great as the first 2 sonics albums, it's not as bad as these other reviewers say it is.

yeah, some of the songs are dumb, and yeah, it's not as raw, but this is still a solid CD to have if you love the sonics.

hell, i like the song 'dirty old man'!

2.0 out of 5 stars sound quality very poor, August 2, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Maintaining My Cool (Audio CD)
there are some great songs here - "maintaining my cool" may be my favorite Sonics number, but the sound quality of this dvd is inferior to my old record with the same content. A real disappointment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sonics Today, November 6, 2001
By 
Jerry Roslie (Tacoma, Wa USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maintaining My Cool (Audio CD)
It's great to see loyal fans from different parts of the country interested in the Sonics after all these years. I'll be sure and tell Dad since he doesn't have a computer, or use for one, they "didn't need that stuff in the 60's".
