5.0 out of 5 stars I was there, September 10, 2005

I had the unique opportunity to visit Ocean Way studios on a mixing day for this CD. The sound coming off the board astonished me. I had recently become acquainted with Red Krosses new guitarist Eddie Kurdziel. He invited me to stop by. Now, I had heard early mix-downs, but nothing could have prepared me for the final product. These guys HAD IT!!! A hit record that showed not only the depth of there abilities as writers and players, but also that they had a group formula that jived (how many lineups the McDonald brothes had backing them up???? I think this is rhetorical). They backed up STP on tour for 2 years. Then, Phaseshifter faded into obscure oblivion. And that is just wrong, man.

You must get this record.

(Eddie Kurdziel RIP)

5.0 out of 5 stars Best amalgam of KISS and Partridge Family ever-then some!, November 25, 1998

I could go on and on about this album, but I'll be brief. It's not as endearing as its predecessor, "Third Eye," but it's better. It has so much crunch it crunches you, so much dirt it dirties you. But at the same time, it's sugary sweet. If you had to epitomize Redd Kross in sound, this is it. Hard enough to rock, sweet enough to swoon. This is one of the Top 50 of the 90s. I recommend it. But be forewarned: you might not dig it right away, at least to listen all the way through. It's so heavy and noisy, it may turn off some listeners, even those who love post-punk. But stay with it. It will grow, and you'll appreciate it.

5.0 out of 5 stars do yourself a huge favor..., March 24, 2002

i bought this album 7 years ago six months after it came out...the reason that i am writing this now is because this is the best album ever made. it is sad that this isn't even in print anymore, and even sadder that soooooo few people have ever even heard it. even those familiar with redd kross barely know this album. very unfortunate...if you ever liked the beatles you need this album. if you ever liked nirvana you need this album. if you've ever even heard of the term 'rock'n'roll' you need this album. everyone needs this like they need air. i am not kidding. i've listened to this album literally thousands of times and i still get shivers listening to many of the songs. i have yet to hear a more perfect hook than 'ms. lady evans'. defintely a breath of fresh air in today's musical climate... to say the very least.
