'Pain' was the band's third and apparently their last CD they put out.I probably wouldn't give it a four star rating,if they didn't sound SO much like AC/DC.I saw them play a club once and except for the fact they had no cannons going off or any fifty foot inflatables of a giant Angus,they PRACTICALLY were AC/DC.'Pain' is a bit more raw that their two earlier albums,but in this case that's a good thing.Tracks I found to lure me to play this CD over many times were the title cut,"Pain","Mad Maggie","What'd You Expect?" and "The Hard Grind".Nice growling Bon Scott-like vocals,heavyily tuned guitar work and superb drumming.Nothing original here,but hot dang...this record ROCKS!!Dirty Looks,eat your heart out.

........with the other reviewer. We agree to disagree - at least I do! Pain is THE BEST of the three Rhino Bucket releases. One of my all time favs! Bird on a Wire is one of the best songs with one of the best performances ever. Rhino Bucket doesn't need a major label. Too much red tape & great rock such as this is all but non existent these days in the mainstream. A comeback (to the mainstream) would be nice.......www.rhinobucket.com - they're working on one of their own. Horns up!

Great band who didn't get their due. In the vain of AC/DC Rhino Bucket didn't get the commercial success of others, but their music does not contain fillers and every song rocks.

i liked all three releases from rhinobucket, and thought this was their best, straight ahead rock and roll ,good guitar work done here , very tight playing, and simon does an excellant job keeping the back beat for the band, if you like early ac/dc with the great bon scott, you will like this album. am still waiting for the new release due out in march and am wondering if the new guitarist can fill the shoes of greg fields. keep on rockin' georg............................

It's such a shame that this album was not up to standards like its 2 predecesors, but there are reasons for it. One....no major Label support,its on a indy label & the production lacks severly! Two...loss of original drummer (replaced by Simon Wright of AC/DC-DIO fame), three..loss of orginal bass player.
Its just not what the 1st two alubums..are...Hell, The second effort is no where near the Classic Quality of the 1st in my opinion..but it still rocks! if you want rhino bucket..buy the 1st..its expensive on here because its out of print..but I have ben lucky enough to find several copies at Flea Markets of all places..for $5.00 a pop.
