5.0 out of 5 stars YES!, April 19, 2004

The Warlocks understand the importance of melody in psychedelic music. These guys write amazing songs and are one of the leading lights (along with Brian Jonestown Massacre, Photon Band, and Elf Power) in this movement.

Joyful drug references abound, kick-ass walls of guitar, solid back beat and a voice that sounds like it's coming from the backseat of your '73 baracuda. This is great summer music, so by all means BUY THIS DISC!

The Warlocks remember they are named after the pre-Velvet Underground unit. The first song here, "Shake the dope out", is a briliant tribute to the Velvet's "Foggy Notion", though this is only one asset of the band which is really not into revivalism. These guys, four guitar players, two drummers plus keyboard player are rocking as serious devils eager to activate their fires. "Cosmic letdown" shows how Hawkwind could have become fashionable and not boring. And again, this is so different, the sound is huge, tremendous bass and a feeling of genuine enjoyment. My favorite tune, "dope feels good", is an incredible pulsing beat grooving through the ever changing voices of the artists, twisting their necks in passing to the Daft Punk cliches. More than 60 minutes of music on 10 songs, the Warlocks are like incandescent lava !

that's what you would be saying if you didn't own this album. just get it and you'll save a fortune, not to mention the health factor. 10 solid rock songs that don't let up. takes you back to the lazy days of mick jagger's burried vocals, and even some beatles/bowie glitter and pop. saw them at cmj in new york, wondered if it was like this for the velvet underground. i know that sounds trite these days, but... hell, they're really good.
