Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction - 'I Am Rock' (Abstract Sounds), January 9, 2008
This review is from: I Am Rock (Audio CD)
Whoa! Where has this metal band been hiding all these years? Last I heard from Zodiac Mindwarp was their 'Tattooed Beat Messiah' album. Guess I have a lot of catching up to do, no doubt. This disc R-O-C-K-S!! Tunes that had me nearly holding on for dear life was the full-throttled opening title cut "I Am Rock", the Iggy & The Stooges-like "Shake", "The King Of Love", the in-your-face "F**ked By Rock", the guitar-heavy "Devil Drive" and "Call Me Baby. A great under-appreciated '90's metal band that fans of Guns 'N Roses, Alice Cooper, The Almightly, Buckethead and AC/DC might want to tuck away a copy of this CD in their back pocket. Too good to be over-looked. Recommended.

Zodiac Mindwarp returns in force, October 27, 2004
This review is from: I Am Rock (Audio CD)
If you are like me and were just blown away by their debut album, entranced by the much-needed sexist escape they provided, then you will not be disappointed with this, their long overdue return to form. It plays like it could be their 2nd album.
The sound -far from being overpolished--is actually more raw than 'Messiah'. It is a wonderful disc, full of Zodiac's creative genius and trademark chauvenism. The heavy guitars of Cobalt Stargazer are again the perfect soundtrack for Zody's astral spewings about life on planet Earth. Don't miss this one. Crank it.

Iggy meets AC/DC!, January 8, 2003
This review is from: I Am Rock (Audio CD)
Zodiac Mindwarp, I always thought, was a more accessible Captain Beefheart but, here, his voice also recalls Iggy's recent crooning. The band rocks on behind him like Angus Young & Company. High points: "[Loved] by rock" and the X rated Dr. Suess of "20,000 women" (sleezier than anything by GG Allin or the Mentors ever did!). Although as great in it's own way, this album sounds nothing like the '88 classic "Tattoo Beat messiah".
