5.0 out of 5 stars safe as chocolate milk, September 19, 2005

...maybe the best "post modern" garage rock album since Capt. Beefheart's "Safe as Milk"...big funky bottom juxtaposed with Mick's angular white hot r-n-r guitar...rocket soul music...if the Captain had been the greatest black rock singer to walk the planet, instead of the greatest white blues singer, he and the original Magic Band might have sounded something like this...course one reason it's so great is, as Mick says in the liner notes, these songs are all SINGLES!...crank this bitch up and do the Beavis and Butthead Booty Shake!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff, even if you have to weed through a bit, June 12, 2005

There are songs on here I'd have payed 15 bucks just for and nothing else, like "Here Comes That Sound Again" which is probably the best song Mick has ever written. However there are some songs on this that I would pay 15 bucks to never hear again, that just kill the vibe, as to be expected with any rarities comp.

I just saw the Dirtbombs last week in NYC and once again, they completely tore the roof of the joint. Once the double drummers kicked in, it was on! Within seconds, I was a pogoing sweaty mess.

From start to finish, Mick and the band put on an awesome display of rock excellence. And they managed to do it despite the fact that one of their 2 bass players had to run to the hospital with a sliced-open hand just a song or two into the set.

The Dirtbombs are rock deities.

I bow down. I bow down. I kiss their feet.

There is no question that the Dirtbombs are the current kings of the Detroit rock scene, as they have been for several years. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of other great bands coming out of the Motor City, but let's be serious, folks. It all begins and ends with this band.

Buy this collection of songs and douse yourself in some rock'n'roll kerosene!
