Nice hearing these good people back in the groove. They are some of the founding members of our Austin music scene. Gotta love the slide and funky New Orleans keyboard on Roky's Song (a tribute to Roky Erickson)--this should be the soundtrack to Jack Black's movie on him. And "Stick the Doll" embodies the creative spirit this band always brought to their shows. They're a mainstay still of what makes Austin Austin.

I love their first 2 albums they are *****. Don't bother to waste your money on this CD, not sure what they were thinking. It doesn't come close to their early stuff. I was bored out of my mind trying to pay attention to it.

They're back! And better than ever! More than Austin will soon know this band. If you miss it, it'll be your loss -- and a big one.

I guess I am old enough now that I am realizing that half the things I thought were cool as a kid were only part of being young. I am totally bummed that Greezy Wheels or 'psuedo' greezers have dampened my memory with this release. The magic is gone, the legend is slandered, and the CD reeks of arrogance to even believe that they could reincarnate a sound by putting together a few musicians and calling them greezy. There is no uniqueness, no core of cool to the droning of these monotone dirges. It's better to leave some memories untampered with- this from a long time fan- bummed and betrayed.
