4.0 out of 5 stars Another album worthy of praise, July 18, 2002

While not quite on par with some of the other donations by the Reverend, Space Heater has proven itself to me as a worthy purchase. Being a RHH fan I do harbor a little favoritism though.

Some have complained that the sound keeps changing, but I can still hear a lot of the Reverend's roots in this stuff. Besides, I tend to like it when a band can bend their sound around without betraying the core sound. I expect a harder edge from these guys and I feel that most of the tracks without it should be considered the departure from the norm. They are psychobilly after all. Even many of their slower, mellow tracks are done quite well, so I can't complain much at all.

Some of my best picks of Space Heater would have to be the humorous Couch Surfin', the instrumentals of Pride of San Jacinto and The Prophet Stomp, and the harder edge tracks such as Lie Detector, Jimbo Song, Goin' Manic and Cinco De Mayo. I won't waste any more of your time with details. Just suffice to say the whole disc is 'listenable' (especially for RHH fans) and that is hard to come by in many CDs today.

If you are a fan of Reverend this selection should not disappoint. While it may not be their best work, I have heard worse from bands with more commercial success. If this be your first sermon from The Reverend, you should have a taste for music with a little hard edge and some Tex-Mex-Rock&Roll dashed in to taste.

I've been a Reverend fan for five years now and all I can say is that his music has saved me from a life of boredom and routine. Thank God he is one of the few people around who still likes to play real rock and roll.Fast-Furious-Fun! Buy any of his sermons and get saved today!

4.0 out of 5 stars One Of His Best, July 12, 2004

I really like the sound of this record. It breaks a bit of a mold for the Rev. and his band. "Lie Detector" should be cranked up as loud as possible.
