First listen was like a musical punch to the stomach, it rocked hard. This punk band from Denton Texas has amazing talent, and this album is a must have for all who love to rock out hard and fast.

If you are just getting into the Riverboat Gamblers, I would recommend starting off with this album. It feels so much more pure than their later work (although I do still love "To the Confusion of our Enemies). The tracks on this album pull no punches and will hit you hard until the end, with "Lottie Mae" showing the (musically) softer side of the band.

Standouts for me are "Ooh Yeah," "Rattle Me Bones," and "Catch Your Eye."

This is the era of Riverboat Gamblers that I love, and it really is something you should experience, especially live (although I imagine they'll be playing a lot off of "Underneath the Owl" nowadays).

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS ONE EXPLETIVE EXPLETIVE AMAZING RECORD, July 11, 2003

1st listen: yeah, pretty good punk rock stuff
2nd listen: inside my head, really damn good
3rd listen: one of my favorite records ever

Don't want to compare them to other TX bands(Supersuckers,etc.) but if you're into that stuff you definitely won't be disappointed. Intense, rollicking, punk, rock and roll. If you've seen them live, this record brings it all back. Rock is not dead and the Gamblers prove it.
